ALA Core Competencies
Instructions: ALA Core Competencies of Librarianship
Provide a one paragraph description to introduce this portion of your ePortfolio. Tell us why the ALA Core competencies are important and how you will use them moving forward. You can leave the list of the ALA Core Competencies on this page as written below. You can, of course, change the font, etc.
*On each sub page, you should embed two assignments
from your coursework that demonstrate the competency being applied. These
assignments can be from any course you have taken in your Master's degree coursework. As you identify assignments that demonstrate application of each core competency, we suggest that you consult
student learning outcomes and/or course objectives in the syllabi of
the courses you have taken as a source of information on competencies developed by
the course and its assignments.
