 * AOI Leaders job-alike**

**Environments:**
We thought about trying to increase the focus of AOIs in school. There are many great ideas but of course a lot of them require time we may not have.

Potential ideas include: ⁃ AOI focus months ⁃ AOI leaders in each grade that would help to create the activities for “focus” months ⁃ AOI presentations that could happen during an Assembly ⁃ AOI groups could work together to decrease the number of “events” or “activities” that occur and decrease the work load for certain individuals

**ATL:**
The group was composed of four teacher-librarians and two subject specialists. A couple of the members are currently taking the IB online course for AOI and are pleased with it. The ATL is a different beast and needs to be considered separately. It should be a core element of unit planning. It was agreed that whether the scope and sequence of the ATL have been spelled out, it takes collaboration and concentrated efforts that these skills are explicitly taught. The skills are not effectively taught if they are taught separately out of context. Several schools have adopted the [|BIG 6] as their research model.
