<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:blue">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
