What is AASL doing about classification of school librarians?
AASL has been instrumental in convincing ALA that the classification of school librarians is an important, even vital, concern for all librarians. A group of concerned AASL members drafted the resolution accepted by ALA Council. AASL appointed a Task Force on Instructional Classification to write the position statementon the subject, and put together a toolkit. The AASL leadership and ALA Washington Office staff met with representatives from NCES and the Department of Education in early May 2006 to begin a dialogue about changing the current classification of library media specialists.
