Moving the school library profession far beyond traditional collection development, Curate helps to connect learners to resources in more thoughtful, meaningful ways. Through teaching learners and other educators to curate—to overcome their own biases to find, organize, and share the best information—school librarians build connections between learners, knowledge, and the world. This practical guide features

• An examination of school library policy placing Curate in context;
• Field notes from practicing school librarians implementing the Curate Shared Foundation;
• Learning trajectories in grade-level bands, offering examples of Curate in action and ways to scaffold learning;
• A sample alignment of Curate Competencies in the AASL Standards Framework for Learners with the Common Core State Standards;
• Lesson starters, case studies, and best practices that demonstrate inspiring and effective strategies; and 
• Questions to promote engagement with reflective practice.
