Librarians as Leaders of 21st Century Learning

Social network for the SLJ Leadership Summit: Librarians as Leaders of 21st Century Learning, Summit Wiki: http://sljsummit09.weebly.com/

Welcome!

With so much focus on 21st century skills, shouldn’t school librarians be recognized as leaders in this new era of learning? More than 200 media specialists and influential education and government officials descended on Washington, DC, in October 2009 to help answer that question as part of School Library Journal’s fifth annual Leadership Summit.

"Librarians as Leaders of 21st Century Learning" explored the powerful relationship between media specialists and 21st century skills, including information and communications skills; critical thinking; interpersonal and collaborative skills; global awareness; and financial, business, and civic literacy.

Sponsored by Capstone Publishers, Rosen Publishing, Gale Cengage Learning, Follett Library Resources, Follet Software Company, Safari Montage, and Scholastic Library Publishing, the two-day event on October 2-3 brought keynote speaker Bernie Trilling, global director of the Oracle Education Foundation, who told attendees they needed to look ahead.

At the end of the day. . .Moving beyond the Summit and towards Assimilation and Action

At the end of the day. . .
It’s not about a profession, it’s about the kids.

It’s not about books, it’s about a fund of knowledge.

It’s not about technology, it’s about our collective future.
-Last slide of Saturday's PowerPoint Presentation 'Cultivating Indispensability'


Thanks to everyone for being so welcoming and kind, especially when I couldn't find the outlet to plug in my computer! Don't people have nightmares about that kind of thing happening?? I am grateful to SLJ for their… Continue
