It also allows all participants to showcase their unique strengths and contributions. According to the American Library Association, \u201creflective practice\u201d is necessary throughout a librarian\u2019s professional career. This includes maintaining enthusiasm for teaching and exploration of new approaches to instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can be challenging, and deeply emotional, to evaluate a growing competency in this area. Armstrong and Davis layered reflective practice methods across the four stages that Jennifer Brown outlines in her \u201cInclusive Leader Continuum.\u201d Brown specializes in the development of DEI strategy and thought leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the conference, attendees voted for presentations that should be included in the Core Forum \u201cBest of Webinar Series.\u201d Armstrong\u2019s and Davis\u2019s work was selected, and will be available online next spring. This enables individuals to access the best content from the conference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ala.org\/core\/\">Core: Leadership, Infrastructures, Futures<\/a> is a division of the American Library Association that advances leadership for library professionals, supports the infrastructure of libraries, and ensures a successful future for both.
