NEW Release... Future Ready Librarians + ISTE Educator Standards Crosswalk Is Here!

 

One of the best parts of ISTE 2026 was announcing the Future Ready Librarians + ISTE Standards for Educators Crosswalk at the FRL Summit on Sunday.  With the crosswalk, we will explore the connections between leadership, literacy, innovation, and learner-centered practice. It is so important to the work we do everyday as Future Ready Librarians. 

We have been working on the updated crosswalk and couldn't wait to get it into the hands of so many Future Ready Librarians at the Summit, and all of my other sessions and events throughout ISTE.

Also, at the Librarians Playground, Lia and I set up a table for everyone to get the... 

...framework and crosswalk posters, and lots of other goodies. 

I love how everyone enjoyed the conversation around Future Ready Librarians and everything we offer  each year including the webinar series, podcast, Future Ready Librarians Summits, and more. 

One of the ways we support our librarians is by creating tools that will support their leadership, work, and advocacy from the library and throughout the school community. This is exactly what the Future Ready Librarians + ISTE Crosswalk will do to support us. 

You will find the Future Ready Librarians + ISTE Educator Standards Crosswalk here where you will download. 

You can download the poster here. Just make a copy once you access the link in Canva.

We are very excited for you to dive into the new crosswalk and see how it supports you and your role within your library and community.  We will have more information and support coming around the crosswalk soon, friends.
