Our District’s Library Plan is created based on the Future Ready Librarians Framework. Future Ready Librarians focuses on supporting equitable and accessible student learning through powerful librarianship. As educators, Future Ready Librarians lead, teach, and support learners both young and old. Embracing change and innovation, Future Ready Librarians teach and promote diverse literacies, integrating engaging digital tools, and collaborating with leaders and colleagues. The Framework guides and inspires the professional practice of librarians, directly linking the library program to the strategic needs and priorities of our school district. This also works in tandem with American Association of School Librarians National School Library Standards. This framework challenges librarians, educators, and the community to see school libraries informed by the past, grounded in the needs of the present, and planning for a dynamic future.
There are eight components that make up the framework, centered around literacy. Learner Centered Literacy creates inclusive collections that acknowledge and celebrate diverse experiences and provide instructional opportunities to empower learners as effective users and creators of information and ideas.
The Dodgeland Instructional Media Center abides by Board approved district policies including but not limited to policy 2522 which includes the major goals of the District’s school instructional media center:
