The focus of this year's conference is a topic on every educators' mind: Common Core Learning Standards. The conference, entitled "The Common Core: School Librarian/Teacher Partnerships Leading Students to Success," will feature keynote speaker and workshop leader, Dr. Barbara Stripling, Assistant Professor of Practice at Syracuse University's School of Information Studies.
In her keynote address and workshop sessions, Stripling will discuss the role of the school librarian in relation to Common Core, suggest ways to collaborate around Common Core and offer leadership tools to participants. Stripling says, "Now is our time! School librarians can and must step into a leadership role to bring the Common Core to life in our schools. [At this conference, w]e will probe the answers to important questions about school librarian leadership and the Common Core."
