"Learner Centered Literacy" is the central goal of the Future Ready Librarians framework, emphasizing the focus on students and their needs. This means that every action, decision, and initiative in the library is driven by the goal of supporting and empowering the learners. From Kindergarten to 12th grade, the students are at the forefront of every aspect of library services and programs.
By prioritizing learner-centered literacy, librarians strive to create an environment that fosters a love for reading, critical thinking skills, information literacy, and digital citizenship. The goal is to provide students with the necessary tools and resources to become lifelong learners and active participants in the rapidly evolving world.
Librarians implementing this framework work towards personalized learning experiences, tailored to meet the unique needs and interests of each student. They offer a variety of learning opportunities, such as collaborative projects, research assistance, access to diverse reading materials, and guidance on utilizing technology effectively. By actively engaging with students and understanding their individual strengths and challenges, librarians can provide targeted support that enhances their learning journey.
Ultimately, the learner-centered approach ensures that the library remains a vibrant hub of educational support and growth, where students can explore, create, inquire, and develop essential skills for success in the future.
