Busy elementary librarians need help applying the new AASL Standards Framework, especially in collaboration with social studies teachers seeking to apply the social studies standards framework. This book shows a path forward for both. This book will be a tremendous help to the busy elementary school librarian who is working with the busy elementary social studies teachers in the school. As they are designing and co-teaching library-based lessons based on the Social Studies Standards Framework, the English Literacy Common Core Standards, and the new American Association of School Librarians Standards (AASL) Learners Framework, these reproducible applicable lessons will enhance planning and implementation. You'll get ready-to-use lessons as well as model lessons to adapt to the needs of your own curriculum and students. All standards are applied in -- with needed handouts -- other tools and current lists of recommended resources provided. Lessons are coordinated to common elementary social studies curricula at indicated grade levels, but can be adapted as template lessons as needed. Current resource lists aid librarians in collection development to support new and current standards.
