While browsing the web I happened upon "Manifesto for 21st Century Teacher Librarians." by Joyce Kasman Valenza. It's a long one but well-thought out. I particularly like how the author mentions promoting student created materials and working to bridge the digital divide. So tell me what you think. What did she leave out? This quote might just be my favorite: "You unpack the good stuff you carried from your 20th century trunk. Rigor, and inquiry, and high expectations, and information and media fluency matter no matter what the medium. So do excitement, engagement, and enthusiasm." Those three e's can certainly lead to rigor, inquiry and high expectations. Tell me, what would your manifesto look like?
