    Greetings Leslie,

    I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit. We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight.

    If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!

    Sincerely,

    Mike McQueen

    Teacher Librarian at McLain HS

    Lakewood, CO

    Hi Leslie, Good to hear from you. I miss you.....
    We have been working on the 21st Century Learner Standards. In conjunction with that we developed the Learner's Bill of Rights...
    Learner’s Bill of Rights

    The learner has the right to:

    1. question and be curious.

    2. have personal ideas.

    3. choose how to learn and share understanding.

    4. plan and participate in learning at a level that’s appropriate.

    5. grapple with challenging ideas or concepts.

    6. access the information and resources needed.

    7. participate in and contribute to a learning network.

    8. think critically, solve problems and make decisions.

    9. make mistakes and learn from them.

    10. reflect on learning.

    If you share these (please do). Please credit the following:
    The “Learner’s Bill of Rights” is endorsed by CoSLL Fall 2008.
