Oregon School Library Standards and Grade-Level Learning Goals The Oregon School Library Standards were developed by a committee of the Oregon Association of School Libraries to provide direction about skill development and instruction provided through school library programs. The standards were endorsed by the State Board of Education on January 22, 2015, and during that meeting, the Board recommended adding Grade-Level Learning Goals. That project was finalized a few years later and presented as an informational report to the State Board of Education on September 19, 2019.
The library standards and learning goals speak to the needs of our students. Information literacy, reading engagement, and social responsibility are important foundations for today’s learners, who need an environment where they can formulate ideas and process information in ways that speak to them.
National School Library StandardsThe American Association of School Librarians (AASL) developed the National School Library Standards with sections that apply to learners, school librarians, and school library programs.
