This document outlines the elements of a highly effective school library program. It discusses key ingredients for success such as having a risk-taking leader and persistent collaborator. It also emphasizes the need for a shift in practice to view the library as a kitchen for instruction and digital literacy rather than a traditional grocery store. The goals are to assess current programs, select areas for improvement, and develop an action plan to ensure students thrive in the 21st century workforce. Recognition is available for presenting plans and receiving recommendations.
