Questions from SLJ Summit: Your Input Requested!
Our editor, Deb Levitov, emailed me from the SLJ Summit last weekend. She affirmed something I had seen bubbling up in the Twittersphere: that Bernie Trilling’s presentation had posed some key questions to consider.
Deb’s looking for your thoughts on these questions for an upcoming issue. Can you help? Leave a comment here, and we’ll get in touch if we can use your ideas in the magazine!
1. Consider a child entering school as a kindergartener this year. What will the world look like in 20 years, when that student is an adult? What skills will be needed?
2. When you think back to the peak learning experience in your life, what word best describes that experience?
3. In the future what will learning look like?
4. How will instruction change to facilitate that learning?
5. What important roles will the school librarian play in meeting those teaching and learning changes?
We’re looking forward to hearing from you. If you’d rather send in your ideas via email, you can send them to slmamblog [at] gmail [dot] com and I’ll get them to Deb.
