Stephanie Charlefour writes: “As school librarians, we are at the heart of the educational ecosystem—nurturing inquiry, fostering critical thinking, and inspiring a lifelong love of learning. The National School Library Standards for Learners, School Librarians, and School Libraries (2nd edition) offers a powerful framework for this mission. But how do we translate these broad, ambitious standards into meaningful, actionable instruction? A scope and sequence is a strategic document that outlines what will be taught, when it will be taught, and how it aligns with educational standards.”
