AASL’s Executive Director to Chair P21
You’ve seen this “rainbow” or “band shell” before, right? It’s the framework for 21st-century learning according to the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, a collaborative visioning group with members from business, technology, and education. This “P21″ band shell has gotten a lot of air time in a lot of districts.
If you’re a school librarian in one of those districts, and especially if you’re a member of the American Association of School Librarians (AASL), you should know that AASL was an early member of this organization and that AASL’s Executive Director, Julie Walker, is the new P21 chair.
So the next time an administrator asks what libraries do or believe in, you can make a direct link between the P21 documents they pass out at staff meetings and your own national professional organization.
