Dates: October 24, 2018 – December 18, 2018 (8 weeks)

Description: This 8-week online course will cover the basic tenets of evidence-based practice (EBP) for those in school librarianship. Participants will learn about EBP and implement the tenets in their schools, districts, and states. Participants will focus on the creation of achievable goals with measurable outcomes. The skills that school library leaders will gain in this course will enable them to provide evidence to demonstrate the school library’s contributions to student learning and achievement, to adjust current practice based on the results of evidence collected, and to determine new practices based on new research in the field. Implementing Evidence-Based Practice is the second of four Lilead Leaders courses.

Eligibility:  School library professionals at any level (building, district, or state)
