This is a Future Ready School Library Plan tracker. It will support your priorities, goals, and actions to help your plan come to fruition. There is a tab for tracking and for a timeline. This can help organize your plan, as well as keep vital evidence of your progress to use with your stakeholders.

Simply make a copy of this template to be used in meetings when you are highlighting work you are doing. Just describe the project or task in the wedge(s) to which it applies. By filling out one of these templates at each meeting, you can gather evidence about what wedges have been focus areas. This could give you insight on future areas of work or help identify priorities.

This slide show is from my recent presentation at WEMTA. It discusses how we are leveraging the library for professional development opportunities in the middle and high school. The PD in the iC/LC program is part of a joint effort to provide more personalized professional learning that will inspire our staff to adopt and promote the future ready mindset. It is also a key part of our efforts to support staff and students through the library programming and resources since the library is ideally situated to work cross-categorically and across the age ranges. Examples and resources are linked inside the presentation for viewers to use and remix as best fits their learning community.
