Lucas Maxwell
Senior Librarian - Glenthorne High School, UK


Picture
Lucas is a charismatic leader who is well known on social media with his inspiring Twitter posts https://twitter.com/lucasjmaxwell
and his blog repository of innovative ideas and lessons at
http://glenthornelrc.blogspot.com

He was named Librarian of the Year in 2017 by the UK School Library Association, and has a big following with his bookstagramming and frequent Skype author calls.
Currently on ABC iView is the 2020 Channel 4 documentary about Glenthorne High:
The School That Tried To End Racism
which followed a group of 11 and 12 year olds and attempted to expand their knowledge of racism and white privilege.
https://iview.abc.net.au/show/school-that-tried-to-end-racism-uk

He has been proactive in connecting with his student body throughout the COVID experience in the UK and his social media shows a champion of diversity and inclusivity.

This will be a pre-recorded presentation in which Lucas will discuss a variety of his passions and how he achieves them.
​
Definitely not to be missed.
