Topic Centers

harveyThe Organization & Management Topic Center focuses on providing tips, tricks, ideas, and strategies for the day to day running of a school library program. Often the behind the scene elements in the school library world, this Topic Center highlights best practices for and effectively running a program to facilitate instruction and student learning.

preddy_circleThe Instructional Leadership Topic Center provides librarians with ideas and inspiration to provide quality instruction supporting achievement. As instructional paradigms shift from teacher-directed to student-centered learning, it is vital for librarians to understand how millennial instruction should change, be able to model Inquiry-based solutions and understand the vital connection between reading, research, standards, technology and achievement. This Topic Center models standard-aligned lessons and inspires teacher-librarians to become part of the instructional team in their building.

morrisLibrary in Context examines school libraries in the broader context of education. For school library programs to uphold this status as an essential and relevant aspect of student learning, school librarians must keep current with school-wide priorities outside the library, educational policy updates and conversations, needs and concerns of community stakeholders, and the practice of teaching. This Topic Center tackles a broad range of topics, including librarians as providers of professional development, advocacy, research updates “made practical,” communications with stakeholders, trends in education, certification/licensure updates, and legislative topics, among other areas.
