Subject: February AASL Cont Ed => Common Core Self-Guided eCourse & School Librarian Evaluation, Graphic Novels, & CCSS Webinars

AASL is offering several self-education opportunities in February. I pulled this information from an email blast.

Common Core: Moving from Complex to Calm, Cool, & Collected
February 4 - March 1, 2013
Cost: Ranges from $75 to $225 (Would your district help cover the expense since it relates to CCSS?); you do not have to be an AASL member to participate.
More Information: http://www.ala.org/aasl/learning/eacademy/common-core
The Common Core asks teachers to move from rote and recall to rigor and relevance, and the librarian can play a vital role in this paradigm shift. This three module course will help librarians understand how they play a vital role in repackaging content for higher level thought, providing imperative resources for the classroom, and connecting digital citizenship, technology and collaboration into the content. This is a four week, self-guided course.

A 21st-Century Approach to School Librarian Evaluation
Thursday, January 31, 2013, 4 p.m. Pacific
Cost: Free, but only AASL members can participate
More Information: http://www.ala.org/aasl/ecollab/upcoming#eval
Join writer Patricia Owen for a walk through AASL’s newest publication, A 21st-Century Approach to School Librarian Evaluation<http://www.ala.org/aasl/guidelinesandstandards/evalworkbook>. During this webinar, Patricia will guide participants through the workbook's suggested readings, action tips, and evidence collection to help school librarians engage in rigorous self-evaluation and to shape school administrator evaluations. [Reminder: The book is available for loan from the Oregon State Library: http://1.usa.gov/UZxlZC.]

KQ Webinar: Aligning Graphic Novels to the Standards
Tuesday, February 12, 2013, 4 p.m. Pacific
Cost: Free, but only AASL members can participate
More Information: http://www.ala.org/aasl/ecollab/upcoming#novels
Graphic novels are one of the most viable and popular contemporary literary formats, and can be aligned to both learning standards and real life applications facing today’s students. In this webinar, Katie Monnin will demonstrate how graphic novels align to the Common Core State Standards, NCTE/IRA Standards, and the AASL learning standards.

Join the Common Core Conversation
Wednesday, February 27, 2013, 4 p.m. Pacific
Cost: Free, but only AASL members can participate
More Information: http://www.ala.org/aasl/ecollab/upcoming#core
In a profession of isolation where districts are fortunate to have even one certified librarian in each school, school librarians must create ways to connect with one another. In this webinar, join presenter Kristina Holzweiss for a look at Edmodo and how it can be used to establish nationwide connections relating to the Common Core State Standards.

FYI,
