AASL offers a rich variety of publications and products through the ALA Store on topics essential to school library professionals everywhere.

National School Library Standards for Learners, School Librarians, and School Libraries
The new National School Library Standards reflect an evolution of AASL learning standards and program guidelines, now referred to as "Standards" and framed within a single text. These standards feature a new streamlined and integrated standards framework, ensuring that standards-related activities are mutually reinforcing for learners, school librarians, and school libraries.

Download the revised index, published in the August 2018 reprint of the National School Library Standards.

AASL Standards Framework for Learners
The AASL Standards Framework for Learners pamphlet is the ideal collaborative and advocacy piece to introduce your stakeholders to this student-focused segment at the heart of AASL's standards. In addition to the framework for learners, this convenient pamphlet includes Common Beliefs reflecting current learning environments and professional best practices that form the foundation of the standards.

This is the perfect piece to share and present at:

District school board meetings

PTA/PTO meetings

Teacher in-service days

ISBN: 978-0-8389-1654-4

Sold in packs of 10
Price: $16.95

Using the National School Library Standards, and integrating content-area curricula and curricular standards, this resource illustrates this critical area of instruction by providing both implementation assistance and examples. Supporting practitioners as they align their teaching with the AASL Standards, this professional guide provides current theories and assessment strategies, ready-to-use styles of assessment with lessons, and a bridge between student assessment and school librarian practice.

Guiding school librarians to new levels of leadership, this book breaks down the National School Library Standards into authentic, easily accessible components school librarians can apply to develop their leadership style and skills. Readers will begin to recognize the leadership behaviors that connect school libraries to learner growth. Strategies, interactive tools, and best practices support readers' further evolution into reflective leaders who spearhead library initiatives instead of being receivers of decisions.

SHARED FOUNDATIONS SERIES
Complete Set
An immersive and dedicated study of the Shared Foundations that anchor the National School Library Standards for Learners, School Librarians, and School Libraries, this six-book series will help school library professionals deepen their understandings, broaden their perspectives, make connections for personal relevance, and innovate and reflect on their practice. While each of the books is dedicated to the deep exploration of a single Shared Foundation, they cannot be implemented in isolation. The writing process used by the authors created a series of books that, like the AASL Standards frameworks, are both unique and yet parallel each other.

Pre-order the entire series and save! Books are currently in development and are scheduled for release on a rolling schedule beginning fall 2019 through 2022. Books will ship to pre-order purchasers as they become available.

About the Crosswalks
The AASL Standards Crosswalk Task Force recognizes that sets of standards vary in their nature and level of specificity or generality. When cross-walking standards sets, it is prudent and necessary to leave some interpretation open to the professional educator. Depending on the language used, not all sets of national standards are aligned equally to AASL's learner, school librarian, and school library frameworks.

BISAC Subject Headings List

Want to find a code to categorize a book? The BISAC Subject Codes List* (or BISAC Subject Headings) is the US standard topical categorization used by companies throughout the supply chain. The Subject Heading applied to a book can determine where the work is shelved in a brick and mortar store or the genre(s) under which it can be searched for in an internal database.

How It Works
Browse the Current BISAC List
There's no fee to select and use BISAC codes to categorize a book. The complete BISAC Subject Headings List is freely available online for one-to-one look-up. Additionally, you don't need permission to use BISAC codes. To find out how to choose the best subject code(s) for your book, check out our FAQ.

Need to request an End Users' License?
Purchase or download the full BISAC List
If you want to do more than browse, BISG members can acquire a licensed file download of the Subject Headings List in Excel, PDF and Word for unlimited use or for incorporation in your company's internal databases. This service is free for members. Non-members can also download the list with pricing based on your annual company revenue. These fees allow BISG to maintain the code standards.

"Unlike other organizations that focus on specific segments or groups, BISG's focus on the complete supply chain makes it the perfect place to build relationships across the entire publishing industry. That breadth of industry input also allows the conversations in committees to be more robust, and the resulting discussions, recommendations, and best practices are able to address a broader range of needs at the same time."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
You've found it. The place for teachers like you. Teachers committed to trying new things. Teachers who - like us - love digging into and geeking out about all things Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.

Looking for ready to use lessons?
We've got hundreds.

Need on-demand professional development?
We've got that, too.

Searching for a community of like-minded STEM teachers? You're in the right place.

"I have been a STEAM Specialist K-5 for 7 years and the STEM Teachers Club Membership has been a tremendous addition to my teaching and professional learning. The Membership has amazing resources, knowledgeable and inspiring speakers, timely professional development that enhances current teaching practices and opportunities to collaborate with other members who also teach STEM."

"Joining the STEM Teachers Club Membership has been one of the best decision I've made this year. I've learned so much about STEM, I've gained confidence in my ability to provide my students with meaningful learning experiences and in the process, I've become a much better teacher."

"Two years ago I was so nervous to start makerspace and STEM in my classroom. I didn't have the resources, on my own, to build up my lessons with my class. Being in this group has helped form a professional learning team that is supportive, resourceful, and provides lots of laughs. Thank you for providing this amazing team!"

Take part in a super fun STEM activity using recyclables and other basic materials in this mystery bag STEM building challenge with free printable STEM challenge cards! Kids will receive a bag of mystery items and then use those materials to complete a design challenge. This activity is perfect to do both in the classroom or at home.
This post contains affiliate links.
Looking for a really fun STEM challenge for your class or kids at home? This mystery bag STEM design challenge will be an absolute hit!

In this design activity, kids are given a bag of mystery materials (an assortment of recyclables and other random items) and then a challenge card stating a building challenge to do with those materials. They then use those "mystery" materials to complete the challenge.

When kids are done completing their design, they can even use the blank set of challenge cards and create other challenges for their peers to do- a great way to extend this STEM activity!

I did this activity with Lucy's 3rd grade class. It was so exciting to see all the cool ideas the students came up with, and the kids loved sharing their creations with each other.

Materials for Mystery Bag Challenge

One bag per student (We used gift bags like these, but you could also use lunch bags, grocery bags, or even large baggies.)

Various kinds of recyclables (cardboard tubes, cardboard, newspaper, aluminum foil etc.)

A variety of other materials (paper plates, plastic cups, string, yarn, pipe cleaners etc.)

Mystery Bag Challenge Cards

Optional: Mystery Bag Labels

How to Set Up Your Mystery Bags

1. Each student will need one bag. Since I was doing this with Lucy's class, I set up 23 bags- enough for each student to have one bag each. (You can leave the bags blank or attach the free Mystery Bag Design Labels to the front of each bag.)

2. Place about 8-12 items into each bag. You'll want to be sure the items are varied. Each bag should contain at least one larger item that can serve as a base for the design, and then an assortment of smaller items. We also made sure no two bags were filled with exactly the same items. That added a level of excitement to the activity. The kids loved seeing which "mystery" materials everyone got in their bags!

3. You can use any materials you have on hand- be creative! Lucy and I saved up recyclables for a few weeks: egg cartons, cardboard boxes that we cut up, plastic containers, plastic lids, empty paper towel rolls etc. We also used small sheets of paper that students would be able to cut up and use, small paper plates, plastic cups, random craft materials like popsicle sticks, straws, buttons, rubber bands, pipe cleaners, string, yarn etc.

Taking Part in the Mystery Bag Challenge

1. Print out the free mystery bag challenge cards. Cut them apart.

2. Give each child a mystery bag (already filled with the mystery items).

3. Give each child a challenge card.

4. Each child should also have access to scissors and tape- either scotch tape or masking tape.

5. Children complete the challenge on the card using only the materials in their mystery bag.

6. When they are finished, ask them about their design or invite them to share their design with each other.

Tips and Other Ideas

The last page of the free challenge cards set is blank and editable. You can type in your own challenges for your students or print out the blank page and invite your students to come up with and write their own challenges for their peers.

Keep this as a permanent center in your classroom. Refill the bags throughout the year with various materials. You could even have the students help with this!

This STEM activity is perfect to save for a rainy day or use as a boredom buster. Have a few bags ready to go and pull out as needed.

The mystery bag challenge would also be fun to do during summer camp or during a playdate.

Frequency and/or number of awards given: 1 each year

Funding from sale of posters, bookmarks and label supplies for award books.

Voting Process

1. In the spring, 3rd through 6th grade students across Iowa take part in the nomination of books for the Iowa Children's Choice Award. The nominations may come exclusively from these students so that it is ensured that these are the favorites of students in this age group. Nominations are not allowed from authors or publishers.

2. After the suggestions are submitted, these books are reviewed by the committee and volunteer readers and the list is narrowed. During the summer, the adult readers read and rate the titles. The committee members finalize the list a year ahead of time.

3. Students should read at least two titles to be eligible to vote. It is acceptable for students to read these themselves or have heard them read aloud.

4. Students may vote for only one title and may not vote for any title they have not read or heard read.

5. Voting will be conducted on ballots produced by each attendance center. Each participating school will send the results by web ballot unless another method is designated by the Iowa Children's Choice chair. There will be a voting template available created by the ICCA chair for those attendance centers who wish to use them. Students can then suggest titles for upcoming ICCA reading lists at this same time.
