School Librarians: Champions of Change
Illustration Credit: Dan Santat
In a time when discussions about education are often dominated by standards, high-stakes testing, and budget cuts, our students and teachers need a champion. Join John Schumacher (aka Mr. Schu) as
he explores the value of school librarians as champions of change. Participants in this workshop will roll up their sleeves and dig into the role of librarians as champions of independent reading, connectors of the school family, and advocates for all students. Mr. Schu brings a fresh and vibrant voice to our mission to help students become
engaged independent readers.
