Appendix D Learning4Life (L4L)

A National Plan for Implementation of
Standards for the 21st-Century Learner
and Empowering Learners: Guidelines
for School Library Programs

This implementation plan was created to support
states, school systems, and individual schools pre-
paring to implement the Standards for the 21st-Cen-
tury Learner and Empowering Learners: Guidelines
for School Library Programs. The plan will also in-
crease awareness and understanding of the learn-
ing standards and program guidelines and create
a committed group of stakeholders with a shared
voice.

While the standards and guidelines define what
“should be” in terms of information literacy, re-
search through guided inquiry, and the integration
of technology in the traditional school context, they
also acknowledge varied and new forms of teaching
and learning in a social and global context. Foun-

dational to this plan is the fundamental value of reading, core content, and
mastery of skills that produce deep knowledge and understanding, as well as
the portable skills that serve individuals for a lifetime, making them critical
thinkers, problem solvers, and continually evolving learners.

To this end, the implementation plan addresses the practical realization
of these important skills and values as it:

• identifies guiding principles and an overarching position and brand-
ing statement;

• identifies target audiences (internal and external);

• identifies training opportunities and resources;

• provides a communication plan;

• provides a plan for continuous feedback, evaluation, and sustain-
ability;

• provides a plan for endorsements and support;

• provides supporting documents.

The plan is available online at <www.ala.org/aasl/learning4life>.
