Administrative​ ​Procedure​ ​250

LEARNING​ ​COMMONS Background The​ ​Learning​ ​Commons​ ​Administrative​ ​Procedure,​ ​approved​ ​in​ ​2014​ ​and​ ​to​ ​be​ ​implemented September​ ​2014,​ ​replaces​ ​the​ ​previous​ ​Policy,​ ​Guidelines,​ ​Procedures​ ​and​ ​Standards​ ​for School​ ​Libraries​ ​in​ ​Alberta​ ​(1984). The​ ​Learning​ ​Commons​ ​Administrative​ ​Procedure​ ​supports​ ​the​ ​principles​ ​and​ ​values​ ​of Inspiring​ ​Education​,​ ​the​ ​Ministerial​ ​Order​ ​on​ ​Student​ ​Learning,​ ​and​ ​Curriculum​ ​Redesign,​ ​and​ ​is aligned​ ​with​ ​the​ ​Government​ ​of​ ​Alberta​ ​Collaborative​ ​Library​ ​Policy​ ​(2013).​ ​The​ ​Learning Commons​ ​Administrative​ ​Procedure​ ​helps​ ​bring​ ​the​ ​goals​ ​outlined​ ​in​ ​Inspiring​ ​Education​ ​to​ ​life in​ ​schools. The​ ​goal​ ​of​ ​the​ ​learning​ ​commons​ ​is​ ​to​ ​enable​ ​all​ ​students​ ​to​ ​be​ ​engaged​ ​thinkers​ ​and​ ​ethical citizens​ ​with​ ​an​ ​entrepreneurial​ ​spirit.​ ​The​ ​concept​ ​of​ ​a​ ​learning​ ​commons​ ​is​ ​a​ ​shift​ ​in​ ​thinking from​ ​a​ ​library​ ​as​ ​a​ ​physical​ ​space​ ​that​ ​is​ ​a​ ​repository​ ​of​ ​books,​ ​to​ ​an​ ​inclusive,​ ​flexible, learner-centred,​ ​physical​ ​and/or​ ​virtual​ ​space​ ​for​ ​collaboration,​ ​inquiry,​ ​imagination​ ​and​ ​play​ ​to expand​ ​and​ ​deepen​ ​learning.​ ​A​ ​learning​ ​commons​ ​is​ ​an​ ​agile​ ​and​ ​responsive​ ​learning​ ​and teaching​ ​environment​ ​available​ ​to​ ​individuals​ ​and​ ​groups​ ​to​ ​use​ ​for​ ​multiple,​ ​often​ ​simultaneous, purposes.​ ​It​ ​supports​ ​literacy,​ ​numeracy,​ ​competency​ ​development​ ​and​ ​student​ ​learning outcomes​ ​through​ ​access​ ​to​ ​and​ ​instruction​ ​in​ ​the​ ​effective​ ​use​ ​of​ ​print​ ​and​ ​digital​ ​resources. The​ ​learning​ ​commons​ ​approach​ ​functions​ ​best​ ​when​ ​learning​ ​experiences​ ​in​ ​the​ ​school community​ ​are​ ​coordinated​ ​to​ ​support​ ​student​ ​learning​ ​outcomes​ ​through​ ​collaborative planning,​ ​teaching​ ​and​ ​assessing. Procedures 1. Principals​ ​will​ ​develop​ ​a​ ​Learning​ ​Commons​ ​Program​ ​Plan​ ​as​ ​part​ ​of​ ​their​ ​annual​ ​school planning​ ​process. 2. As​ ​with​ ​all​ ​planning,​ ​School​ ​Council​ ​input​ ​and​ ​staff​ ​participation​ ​are​ ​important​ ​as​ ​part​ ​of​ ​the overall​ ​process. 3. Support​ ​for​ ​the​ ​development​ ​of​ ​a​ ​Learning​ ​Commons​ ​Program​ ​Plan​ ​can​ ​be​ ​accessed through​ ​the​ ​Instructional​ ​Media​ ​Centre​ ​(IMC). 4. The​ ​district​ ​will​ ​continue​ ​to​ ​support​ ​schools​ ​in​ ​the​ ​transitioning​ ​of​ ​libraries​ ​to​ ​learning commons.
