Engaging Adolescent Literacies with the Standards
Spiering, Jenna
Knowledge Quest, v47 n5 p44-49 May-Jun 2019
As classroom teachers face continued pressure due to prescriptive standards and high-stakes testing, school librarians continue to look for ways to make learning more dynamic and authentic for the diverse students in our schools. However, adolescent literacy research as a field operates largely apart from the research about school libraries and vice versa. Consequently, adolescent literacy research often ignores the impact that school librarians can have on the literacy instruction happening in classrooms and the school librarians' critical role in engaging students with multimodal literacies. Although the language of the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) Standards reflects many of the activities and initiatives that are familiar to school librarians (teaching research skills and supporting the reading culture in schools), Jenna Spiering's goal in this article is to highlight a few areas within the standards that provide opportunities for engaging with trends in adolescent literacy research. This article contains sections discussing the following areas within the AASL Standards: (1) Inquire and Explore; (2) Collaborate and Include; and (3) Curate and Engage.
