Learning Commons Vision

The Edna-May Paulson Learning Commons will address the academic needs and interests of all Galvin Middle School students and staff by offering resources through the physical and virtual Learning Commons. Library and information literacy-based instruction will support mindful independent research and the production of information. The Learning Commons will be a learning environment where each and every student can feel safe and supported and can find his/her own voice and interests.
