The final volume in the six-book series, Engage is both anchor and sail in the Shared Foundations, providing a culmination of knowledge and a starting point for new thinking that promotes learners’ dynamic, spiral, and cyclical journey with the AASL Standards. Examine Engage through the learning cycle of the Shared Foundations in AASL’s National School Library Standards. This book will help school librarians contextualize and complement the other Shared Foundations while providing learners with the skills and knowledge for their engagements with reading, information, learning, and life. To support school librarians as they help all learners navigate the complex future of information, this book provides 

  • grade-band specific learner trajectories that accompany learning scenarios for each Domain within Engage;
  • action lists, reflective questions, strategies, policies, and resources to engage learners and school librarians and shape the school library; 
  • five cross-cutting themes—design thinking; equity, diversity, and inclusion; information quality; inquiry learning; and social-emotional learning—that will resonate with readers as necessary to ensure Engage throughout learners’ academic lives and beyond; and
  • web companion pieces that demonstrate professional learning scenarios which can be replicated and modified for use with practicing and pre-service school librarians and adapted for use with other educators and learners. 

Examination copies are available for instructors who are interested in adopting this title for course use.
