This session explores the Canadian Library Association’s greatly anticipated Standards of Practice for School Library Learning Commons, which will be released at this year’s national CLA Conference in Victoria. Examples of exemplary learning assessment practices and action research for program improvement will be featured.  Are school library metrics different? This session explores the alignment of library activities with curriculum goals.
