LLC Vision Statement

My vision for the LLC is to be a dynamic, inclusive space essential to school life, where diverse resources, universal design, and ongoing collaboration empower student agency, creativity, critical thinking, and meaningful community connection.

Key things my LLC will include:

• A space that is more than just a place to sign out books
  • Focus on collaboration, school/community events, virtual/physical services, and providing innovative resources/tools (Sykes)
  • A place to build strong life skills to become successful contributors to society! 
• Student agency present throughout the learning commons (LaGarde)
• Makerspace area to promote design thinking and creating knowledge (Lyons)
• Diverse selection of books and resources (“Culturally Relevant Pedagogy”)
  • Entire section of Indigenous Books and other culturally relevant materials
• Flexible seating to adapt to diverse student needs
  • Collaboration VS independent work (Chen et al.)
  • A place where ALL learners are welcome
