The development of Leading Learning brought together input from every province and territory in the country, and successfully developed standards for growth that are meaningful within this very disparate context. The process of writing the standards was very unique and modeled the benefits of working collaboratively in a networked world.

With the dissolution of CLA in 2016, responsibility for the standards was transferred to 91精选. Leading Learning is a foundational document for the work of 91精选 and is a catalyst for transformations in school libraries in Canada from coast to coast to coast. 91精选 invites schools to join us in celebrating the impact these standards have made in the growth of the learning commons approach in schools and the potential for leading learning for the future.
