This document presents a review framework for school libraries to help them become future-focused. It discusses key aspects of a future-focused library such as learners, teachers, resources, spaces, and partnerships. Various standards and models are presented that address topics like instructional design, information literacy, learning communities, and more. The document encourages library leaders to choose a review framework, identify key performance indicators, set goals, take action, and document progress to address standards and improve the school library over time. The goal is to position the library as a dynamic learning environment that supports the curriculum, teachers, and students.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. How do we create a future
focused library and what
does it look like?
4. The hallmark of a school library in the
21st century is not its collections, its
systems, its technology, its staffing, its
building, but its actions and evidence
that show that it makes a real
difference to student learning, that it
contributes in tangible and significant
ways to the development of meaning
making and constructing knowledge.
Transitions for preferred futures for school libraries (Todd, 2001, 4)
5. From: Future Learning and School Libraries (ASLA)
Support curriculum goals
Provide expertise
Advocate lifelong learning
Provide intellectual agency
Enable students to become information and digital
literate
6. The role and impact of the teacher-librarian can be
synthesized quite simply: teacher-librarians impact student
learning and achievement by forming strong and positive
relationships with members of the school community,
especially the school principal; by collaborating with
classroom colleagues to plan, develop and assess
independent learning abilities in students; by fostering a
recreational reading culture in the building; and by
providing informal staff development opportunities.

of digital literacies / technologies

LIBRARIAN
Framework based on
the Future Ready
School Project
As schools seek to become Future Ready, it is
necessary to identify and cultivate leadership
beyond district and building leaders. School
librarians lead, teach and support the Future Ready
goals of their school and district in a variety of ways
through their professional practice, programs and
spaces. If properly prepared and supported, school
librarians are well-positioned to be at the leading
edge of the digital transformation of learning.
18. Are librarians the key to a Future Ready
School?
The alliance for Excellent Education launched its Future Ready Schools (FRS) initiative in
October 2014 with the aim of leveraging technology and connectivity to personalise and
transform learning. In June 2016, the Alliance, in partnership with the U.S. Department
of Education’s Office of technology expanded FRS to position school librarians as
leaders in this effort.
There is a growing recognition that librarians were essential to the process. The FR
Librarians Framework acknowledges that librarians play a powerful role in:
Curating digital resources and tools
Empowering students as creators
Building instructional partnerships
Designing collaborative spaces

20. LEADING LEARNING
Standards of Practice for Effective School
Library Learning Commons
Canadian Library Association, 2014
The Standards of practice for school library
learning commons in Canada are framed around
the core standards of practice that put school
libraries at the centre of school improvement.
They are intended as a guide for the journey
from the more traditional school library
program to the whole-school learning
commons approach of participatory learning.
29. Learners
• Resource-based inquiry learning
• Reflection and metacognition
• Students as curators and creators of
information and knowledge
• Engaged readers
• Student self-efficacy
30.
31. Teachers
• Instructional Partnerships
• Personalised Professional Learning
• Evidence-based practice
• Differentiated learning and
negotiated curriculum
• Resource-based / informed
curriculum development
• Technology infused participatory
teaching and learning
32. Access
• Robust infrastructure
• Participatory teaching and learning
through online learning
environments
• Equity of access to information
resources
• Access, storage, organisation and
circulation of resources (policies and
procedures)
• IMS / LMS
33. Resources
• Use of space and time
• Resource selection, acquisition and
management
• Budget
• Equity of access to information
resources
• Access, storage, organisation and
circulation of resources (policies and
procedures)
34. Spaces
• Physical spaces supporting
participatory / collaborative learning
• Virtual spaces supporting
participatory / collaborative learning
• Equity of access to information
resources for all students
• Adaptability of learning spaces
39. A teacher librarian, within a
21stcentury learning environment, is
an instructional leader, curriculum
designer, consultant, collaborator,
mediator for students and staff to
achieve best practice in learning.
Create your own definition……..
40. Plan of action
Establish your own review framework or choose one that closely
relates to your context.
Identify the key performance indicators that will you will use for the
review process
Establish your current situation for each of these KPIs
Prioritise each in the order of importance or maximal impact
Set short-term, medium-term and long-term goals
Take action on one goal
Be visible and vocal in what you are doing.
Formalise the process and document in such a way that it addresses
any systemic and or school requirements.
At a time when many schools are repurposing their libraries, building new innovation centres and creating new learning spaces, commons and hubs it is a perfect time for library professionals to step –up and take on a role of guidance support in an advisory capacity.
But how can we do this? What road maps are out there to help us in this endeavour? Today’s webinar is designed to explore a number of strategies, tools and frameworks that I have found that may help guide that transition into a future ready status for us and our libraries.
There is no shortage of evidence and quotes which espouse the virtues and value of having a qualified staff in the school library but….
While many may consider that the performance indicators /criteria identified in each of the 5 domains in Learning for the Future I am very much of the opinion that one must not throw the baby out with the bathwater – It’s a good idea to look closely at what once was an essential document / framework to see if it is still relevant.
