  3. LSTA Grant Basics All 34 colleges may participate in: • Professional development • Continuing assessment of learning outcomes • Specific populations (pre-college, “rising junior”) Steering Committee: • Paula Doherty, Myra Van Vactor, Deb Gilchrist, Katy Dichter, Lynn Kanne & Wai-Fong Lee • Mindy Coslor, Jon Kerr, Maureen Pettitt (PILR)

  5. PILR: Research Question How does/Does information literacy contribute to overall learning and transition for pre-college students? Phase 1 Develop/find methods for integrating IL into pre-college programs Phase 2 Seek evidence to support the hypothesis that IL instruction makes a difference in overall learning and transition for pre-college students

  6. PILR: Basics Team = 1librarian + 1to 3 faculty Unique assignments & curriculum plans Shared rubric for IL & precollege Share student-level data

  7. PILR: Research Teams • Starting Winter 2010 Lower Columbia Pierce - Ft. Steilacoom South Seattle (two teams) Skagit Valley • Starting Spring 2010 Clover Park Lake Washington Pierce – Puyallup Wenatchee Valley Whatcom Winter 2010 Plan Spring 2010 Implement, Report, Revise Fall 2010 Implement, Report, Revise Winter 2011 Implement, Report

  8. PILR: Authentic Assessment • Focuses more on what a student can do than on what a student knows • Usually includes a task and a rubric for evaluating performance • The assessment (assignment, task) is also the vehicle for learning Asks students to perform real-world tasks that demonstrate meaningful application of essential knowledge or skills. –Jon Mueller

  9. PILR: Curriculum Planning Guide Learning Outcomes:What should the student be able to do? Knowledge base:What does the student need to know to do it well? Activity:How will the student learn?  Demonstration of learning:What will the student do to show what they have learned?  Criteria:How do you know the student has done this well?

  10. PILR: Integrative Assignments Integrative Learning…connects skills and knowledge from multiple sources and experiences…

  11. IA: Generative Topics • Relevant to students in their roles as community members, workers, and family members • Central to one or more disciplines or areas of expertise • Accessible through multiple means • Connected to other topics taught

  12. IA: Learning Outcomes • Focus on key understandings • Clear, explicit and shared • Address learning challenges • Align to standards

  13. Integrative Assignments • Focus on targeted knowledge, methods, and/or skills • Have a central activity that builds and integrates understanding • Integrate naturally with other course assignments so students see research as part of a larger process • Consider the most effective collaboration between library faculty and discipline faculty

  14. IA: Assessment Strategies • Target learning outcomes • Are based on explicit criteria set forth in the rubric • Include self, peer, and teacher, as appropriate • Offer informative feedback to students
