The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) Standards provide a national framework that guides how school libraries support student learning. Developed by American Association of School Librarians, these standards focus on helping students become effective researchers, critical thinkers, ethical users of information, and lifelong learners.

The AASL Standards emphasize inquiry, collaboration, creativity, and responsible participation in a global information environment. They support students in developing the skills needed to evaluate sources, think critically, use information ethically, and communicate their ideas clearly.

In our library program, the AASL Standards shape instruction, resource selection, and learning experiences to ensure that students are prepared for academic success and informed citizenship in a digital world.

The ISTE Standards are a set of internationally recognized guidelines that help students, educators, and educational leaders use technology effectively for learning. Developed by the International Society for Technology in Education, these standards focus on empowering learners to thrive in a connected, digital world.

The ISTE Standards encourage students to become empowered learners, digital citizens, knowledge constructors, innovative designers, computational thinkers, creative communicators, and global collaborators. They promote responsible technology use, critical thinking, creativity, and meaningful problem-solving.

In our program, the ISTE Standards guide how technology is integrated into instruction, ensuring that students build the digital skills and mindsets necessary for success in school, careers, and life.
