Librarians play an essential role in bringing teaching and learning into the digital age. Today's librarians still help students with research and assist them in finding the perfect book or magazine, but they also show students how to use technology, help learners detect whether information is from a trustworthy source and facilitate schoolwide edtech training.

Though Exploring Future Ready Librarianship: Practices for the Emerging Leader, you’ll reflect on librarian and media specialist practice, identify areas for professional inquiry and growth, explore the Future Ready Librarians framework, and create and implement a personal action plan to lead from the library. This course is designed to maximize student-centered learning opportunities and help districts leverage technology as part of the Future Ready Schools Initiative.

This is a 15-hour, self-paced course with ongoing instructor support. No previous knowledge of the Future Ready Librarians framework is necessary.
