A Future Ready school is a network of supportive and collaborative educators, a learning community in which the responsibility of empowering and preparing students for the workplace of tomorrow is achieved through a communal growth mindset. No member of any learning space should be overlooked as an integral part of that support system: so this week, we’re taking a look at how Librarians function as leaders in every school, and how they can support districts in becoming #FutureReady.
Librarians hold a unique and potentially powerful space in the implementation of educational technology and career readiness. Future Ready Schools, who, as many educators already know, is a leader in implementing research-based digital learning strategies, believes in the valuable influence of school librarians. To them, as long as librarians are “properly prepared and supported”, they’re “well positioned to be at the leading edge of the digital transformation of learning”. We agree: Librarians open doors for students to understand technology and gain powerful analytical skills. They’re an integral part of every learning community, and have the capabilities to make monumental changes.
