NC BOLD West 2026 Day 3 Oak Grove High School

North Carolina’s updated School Library Guidelines are here—celebrating the evolving role of school libraries as student-centered spaces for literacy, inquiry, and growth. Join us for a first look at how the revised guidelines position school libraries as essential learning hubs where curiosity is encouraged, readers are nurtured, and students build the skills to think critically and engage responsibly with information. Explore what’s new, what’s been clarified, and how the guidelines can support stronger programs and meaningful learning experiences in schools and districts across North Carolina.

Transform your classroom's digital landscape by shifting the focus from what devices can do to what students are actually doing. In this hands-on session, you will use the ICAP and TripleE frameworks to categorize learning activities and discover how to "nudge" technology use from passive consumption to high-value creation and interaction. Join us to find the perfect balance between digital and non-digital activities that truly deepen student engagement.
