Winner of Library Media Connection’s Editor’s Choice Awards!

Facilitating Authentic Learning, Grades 6-12

We’re very pleased to announce that Facilitating Authentic Learning, Grades 6-12 by Laura Thomas has been selected as a winner of Library Media Connection’s Editor’s Choice Awards in the category of Professional Reading!

According to Library Media Connection Magazine, “award winners are being recognized for their significance and value to the library and school program. Some cover important or controversial issues; some focus on unusual or not often covered topics; some offer a different approach to a familiar topic or reflect a new trend; many point toward the Common Core Standards. If they are not already in your collection or on your wish list, we suggest you take a good look at them.” We couldn’t agree more with that suggestion!

Congratulations to Laura Thomas and the Corwin Editorial Team!
