TASL Webinars
TASL is excited to begin offering our members webinar opportunities for convenient online professional development. Webinars will be hosted by TASL members or special guest presenters. We hope to offer two options each month, and most webinars will last between 30 minutes to an hour. Participants who tune into the live webinar will receive a certificate of attendance, though PD credit is up to the discretion of your school or district.

Explore the AASL Standards with Sarah Searles
Join Sarah to hear about her recent publication in the AASL Shared Foundations series - Explore. This book takes readers on a journey through the broad and varied territory of school librarianship, sharing resources, ideas, and trends to help along the way. This guide is designed so that readers can explore their practice on their own or with colleagues—so grab your compass, backpack, and boots and hit the trails. This book offers:
-
a deeper understanding of the Explore Shared Foundation, including how to connect to traditional practices while moving the school library profession forward;
-
an examination of how the Competencies in the Explore Shared Foundation relate to other major ideas and concepts in school librarianship and the wider field of education; and
-
ready-to-implement professional development programming for school librarians and those who support school librarians, including administrators, supervisors, and university educators.
