Kentucky Academic Standards for Library Media

KASLM Kentucky Academic Standards for Library Media

Standards

You can find the official PDF version of the KY Academic Standards for Library Media here. Our KAS for Library Media are inspired by the AASL Standards Framework for Learners. 

Collaborative Progression Chart

These are the same as the progression chart above, but include annotations from school librarians across Kentucky during the 2021 KASL Summer Refresher, KET Multimedia Days, and other meetings. Feel free to use these for inspiration and/or to add your own thinking on how these standards in action look in your school.

AASL Standards for Administrators

This is a great one-page resource to help start or continue conversations with a school administrator on the importance of a strong school library media program and how the standards help with that. 

AASL ISTE Crosswalk

This crosswalk ties together the AASL Standards, on which our KAS for Library Media are based, and the ISTE Standards, on which our KAS for Technology are based. In addition to the student standards, it also provides the AASL standards for the librarian and library. 

AASL Role of Reading

This is a great piece from AASL that discusses the School Librarian's Role in Reading as it relates to the standards. https://www.ala.org/aasl/sites/ala.org.aasl/files/content/advocacy/statements/docs/AASL_Position_Statement_RoleinReading_2020-01-25.pdf
