Beyond the Books: Socially-Responsive Innovation in the School Library

Students can create incredible change in their community when they feel empowered and are offered authentic learning experiences. Including human-centered, empathy-driven approaches to your library program offers meaningful experiences that promote real-world problem-solving, critical thinking, embracing failure, and working collaboratively. In this session, we will examine how to leverage design thinking while we harness the power of Student Library Advisory Boards, compassionate maker challenges, and instructional collaborations to make it happen!
