AASL Standards for the 21st Century Learner

The standards are based on 9 common beliefs that recognize the importance of skills that lead to

productive behavior and provide points of connection with other educators.

•Reading is a window to the world.

•Inquiry provides a framework for learning.

Ethical behavior in the use of information must be taught.

Technology skills are crucial to future employment needs.

Equitable access is a key component for education.

The definition of information literacy has become more complex as resources and technologies have changed.

Process

How do we infuse the AASL Standards, NETS-S, and 21st Century Skills district curriculums?

-Include as an active part of curriculum planning in all content areas-recognize that digital tools and the information process aid learning but the goal should be based on content learning first-make sure there is a clear understanding of what the standards mean and provide examples-professional development should focus on the standards in practice
