From Planning to Assessment: A Guide to Creating a Successful High School Information Literacy Program
We have created the Information Literacy Strategy Handbook, High School Edition, based on years of working with hundreds of schools and libraries, research into current best practices and technology, and insight from our customers. This brand-new handbook—created specifically for high schools—includes:
- Information on artificial intelligence
- How to scaffold instruction so students build on existing learning
- How to market your program to various audiences
- How to assess and refine your work to keep your program fresh and successful.
- How to use inquiry-led learning to impart IL skills to your students that “check” the American Association of School Librarians’ (AASL) Standards, Common Core Standards, and the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards.
