Do you want to be a library leader who is confident in identifying and addressing some of the inherent and systemic biases that prevail within our institutions that create barriers to student success? Honing your leadership skills will help you to identify your biases, increase your social narrative, improve your listening and communication skills and help break down stereotypes. Are you interested in updating your library’s technology and digital literacy offerings to prepare students to be informed citizens, contributing members of the community, and innovative thinkers? If you want to prepare students for successful future endeavors, you will need to create programs in 21st Century Literacy Skills. Join us to learn how to become a leader within your institution through digital literacy programs that prepare students’ to be socially mobile, civically responsible, entrepreneurs, innovators, and productive members of the workforce. Using the 21st Century Literacy Skills as a framework for information literacy, media literacy, and technology literacy, connect with colleagues from different types of educational institutions. Learn new ways to connect, collaborate, cooperate, and commit to teaching 21stCentury Literacy Skills to provide equitable student experiences and reduce systemic and inherent mindsets.

Learning Objectives:

1. identifying opportunities and collaborators within their communities
2. developing programs that include the 21st-century literacy skills; and
3. leading the institution in the development of strategies to advance the institutional mission of educating an informed and contributing global citizenry.
