Confused about Common Core? Host a Learning Day at Your Library

Abstract

What exactly is Common Core? And why should librarians care about it? Those seem to be the buzzwords of the past few years.

As a library and information science student at Syracuse University specializing in school media, I was aware that Common Core was becoming more relevant with teachers, students, and librarians. And while the Common Core has been referenced more and more in discussions, publications, and conferences, many still wonder about what exactly it means for libraries.
