Information Fluency Curriculum
During the summer of 2006 35 school library media specialists in the Capital Region BOCES School Library System met for four days to construct a regional information literacy curriculum.
Responding to the universal demand for information skills, literacy, and mastery of 21st Century Skills for the digital age, the teacher/librarians explored, distilled, and applied innovative, standards based models for instruction in information literacy.
Motivated by the potential to improve student achievement and fueled by professional wisdom, the teacher/librarians collaboratively created a draft document with a focus on INQUIRY and LEARNING STANDARDS.
Refinement and benchmarking of the draft is ongoing.
