AASL Standards for the 21st-Century Learner Released in October 2007 at the AASL
Conference in Reno, NV An “evolution” of the nine Information
Literacy Standards for Student Learning
![Page 8: The 21 st Century Learning Standards and You Northern Virginia School Librarians August 27, 2008 Dr. Audrey Church Longwood University.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051620/56649ebd5503460f94bc608b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Characteristics of the New Standards Alignment to standards in other content
areas Language understandable to other
educators “Opportunities, responsibilities, and
challenges facing today’s library media specialists in preparing students to be 21st-century learners” (Coatney 57)
![Page 9: The 21 st Century Learning Standards and You Northern Virginia School Librarians August 27, 2008 Dr. Audrey Church Longwood University.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051620/56649ebd5503460f94bc608b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
From AASL President, Sara Kelly-Johns… “The new standards focus on the learner. They
outline the content and process that students need to learn now and into the future, taught through the school library program. They are not a curriculum guide or a scope-and-sequence. They provide a framework for the integration of information literacy with curricula in other subjects, taught in classrooms and libraries.” (Johns 8)
![Page 10: The 21 st Century Learning Standards and You Northern Virginia School Librarians August 27, 2008 Dr. Audrey Church Longwood University.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051620/56649ebd5503460f94bc608b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Learners use skills, resources, and tools to
1. Inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge.
2. Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations, and create new knowledge.
![Page 14: The 21 st Century Learning Standards and You Northern Virginia School Librarians August 27, 2008 Dr. Audrey Church Longwood University.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051620/56649ebd5503460f94bc608b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Four Standards
Learners use skills, resources, and tools to
3. Share knowledge and participate ethically and productively as members of our democratic society.
4. Pursue personal and aesthetic growth.

“…standards outline the skills students must have, ongoing beliefs and attitudes needed for those skills to be practiced, the responsibilities or common behaviors of students as they learn, and strategies for personal assessment of their learning.” (Johns 8)
![Page 17: The 21 st Century Learning Standards and You Northern Virginia School Librarians August 27, 2008 Dr. Audrey Church Longwood University.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051620/56649ebd5503460f94bc608b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Key Questions
SkillsDoes the student have the right proficiencies
to explore a topic or subject further? Dispositions in Action
Is the student disposed to higher-level thinking and actively engaged in critical thinking to gain and share knowledge?
![Page 18: The 21 st Century Learning Standards and You Northern Virginia School Librarians August 27, 2008 Dr. Audrey Church Longwood University.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051620/56649ebd5503460f94bc608b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Key Questions
Responsibilities Is the student aware that the foundational traits
for 21st-century learning require self-accountability that extends beyond skills and dispositions?
Self-Assessment StrategiesCan the student recognize personal strengths
and weaknesses over time and become a stronger, more independent learner?
