Vision Statement

Here, at long last, is a vision of what the Learning Commons should be:

The Learning Commons should be a place, both physical and virtual, that is open and accessible to learning. It should be where teachers, students and parents feel comfortable and have a sense of shared ownership for the learning that happens. It is a place of collaboration, where teachers and students meet, work, teach and learn together. The learning commons is still a library, where students access, read and borrow books, but it's also a place where students can come to work independently, and where multiple groups of users can co-exist. Flexibility of space and of attitude are key to the Learning Commons. The physical spaces should be customizable to meet the needs of a variety of users. 

    

Learning in the Learning Commons happens on the floor, on the tables, on the comfy chairs, and through the Internet, around the world!

Scaredy Squirrel is missing and the rest of the reading buddies miss him! There will be a reward for his return! Please help the Scaredy Squirrel Reading Buddy get back to the Learning Commons!
