Making It Matter: National School Library Standards for School Administrators
Lewis, Kathryn Roots
Knowledge Quest, v47 n5 p56-63 May-Jun 2019
This article asks three questions: (1) Why do the National School Library Standards for Learners, School Librarians, and School Libraries matter to school administrators; (2) How is an administrator's knowledge of the role of the school librarian as articulated in these standards; and (3) Is it known what matters to school administrators and how does that dovetail with practice? In the last year themes of periodicals that administrators read included literacy instruction, comprehensive learning, mentoring, social media, the whole learning community, professional development, computational thinking, problem solving, coding, student voice, social-emotional learning, and learning itself. This is quite a comprehensive list of issues that impact, influence, and engage all educators. So looking through the lens of these topics, where do school libraries fit? In this article Kathryn Lewis shares why and how school librarians in her district brought the standards alive for our administrators and related the standards to what educators do, day in and day out. She writes that the process she has outlined can certainly be replicated for your school and district leaders.
