Learning Commons at the CBE
Today’s learners cannot imagine life without the internet and supporting technology. The concept of the traditional library is changing to include technology, online tools and spaces for collaboration and exploration.
School Literary Materials Selection
Related to Ministerial Order (#034/2025), Standards for the Selection, Availability, and Access of School Library Materials, CBE has published an administrative regulation AR3051: School Literary Materials Selection. Families and community members can request a review or reconsideration of a literary resource in a school's learning commons by completing the School Library Materials Reconsideration Challenge Request through their local school.
CBE also has an eLibrary online tool available to families, students and staff, which is an online catalogue for all CBE school libraries with detailed information on books, DVD’s and other resources that are available to borrow.
Additionally, parents and legal guardians are welcome to review classroom library collections by contacting your child's school.
Building a Makerspace
We are building a makerspace in the learning commons! A makerspace is a place where all students can inquire, create and collaborate using a variety of materials. It is a great way to support learning outcomes and harness higher order thinking skills. Ms. McIntosh will be working with students throughout the year in many exciting ways to enhance learning. Please read about the items you can donate to support our learning and our learning commons!
To support curriculum outcomes through innovations, exploration and creativity, we are building a makerspace in our learning commons. You can help us by donating items that you may already have a home.
