Teacher Who Learns More From Her Students
Than She Teaches Them Fired
“I learn something new from them each and every day. They teach me so

specifically?
● What is the role of the library and promotion of
information literacy?
● Who can be your partners? (within library, and
beyond)
● What are your [shared] goals/vision for AI? (short
term, long term)
To think about when you get home...
● What opportunities exist?
● What obstacles do you face?
o Think resources, people, other initiatives…
● How can you gain buy-in from stakeholders? How
might your stakeholders’ context impact your
goals/vision?
