Librarians

Generative and collaborative Peer Learning Community for Librarians

This Librarians community is dedicated to establishing a collaborative sharing platform for educators, aimed at advancing the practices of innovative libraries in our schools. Participants will engage in meaningful collaboration, sharing professional inquiries and best practices related to their roles as school librarians. This includes diversifying collections, co-teaching, and developing innovative library spaces.

Ideal for all librarians and educators seeking to broaden their understanding of the evolving leadership role of the teacher librarian, this community offers sessions that blend practical and aspirational practices from the international community. Participants are encouraged to actively share their experiences and insights, gaining valuable takeaways to implement in their own libraries. Educators from Pre-K to Grade 12 are all welcome to join and contribute to this vibrant, peer-driven learning environment.
