Implementing the CCSS The Role of the School Librarian
CHICAGO – The American Association of School Librarians, in partnership with Achieve, has released an action brief on the role of school librarians in the implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The brief was designed not only for school librarians who are supporting higher standards for student learning, but also for school leaders as they rethink and re-envision the role that the library can and should play in a major school initiative. The action brief is available on the AASL website at [|www.ala.org/aasl/advocacy/resources].

“This action brief is a starting point,” said AASL President Gail Dickinson. “It was designed to increase awareness of the Common Core State Standards, create a sense of opportunity around their implementation, and provide school librarians — who are faced with increased opportunities in the context of fewer resources — with a deeper understanding of the standards and their role in implementing them.”
