  1. PILR: Pre College Information Literacy Research Transforming Pedagogy and Curriculum with Information Literacy

  2. Agenda • LSTA Grant Overview • What is this project about? • Team Introductions • Curriculum/Assignment Design • Using the Rubrics designed for PILR • Sharing Data • Deliverables • Q & A

  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: • Myra Van Vactor, Deb Gilchrist, Katy Dichter, Lynn Kanne & Wai-Fong Lee • PLUS: Mindy Coslor, Jon Kerr, Maureen Pettitt (PILR)

  4. 2010-2011 Other Activities: • “Rising Junior” – IL for transfer students • Summer ACRL “Immersion Refresher” Pre-college Information Literacy Research Initiative (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 Each college= 1librarian + 1to 3 faculty Unique assignments & curriculum plans Shared rubric for IL & precollege Shared student-level data

  7. Tips for New Teams Advice from one of your colleagues: • Select your partners carefully. “I am having an excellent experience b/c I selected a faculty member who is professional, competent and dedicated, who also has patience and a sense of humor and follow through.  These qualities will serve you well in the necessary reporting, etc.” • Be realisticThink creatively but also recognize the goals of the project and the parameters it sets.  • Be flexible…be willing to think outside your box so that INFO LIT goals as well as the learning goals of the instructor can be honored.

  9. 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

  10. PILR: Curriculum Planning Template 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?

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

  12. 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

  13. Integrative Assignments 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

  14. Integrative Assignments 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 Tip: Look over “Assignment & Instruction Plan Reports” – especially the notes sections.

  15. Integrative Assignments Learning Outcomes • Focus on key understandings • Clear, explicit and shared • Address learning challenges • Align to standards

  16. PILR Rubric – Define Task

  17. PILR: Using the Rubrics • Review the rubric during assignment design • Share rubric (or relevant portion) with students • Translate/reword the rubric for your students • Share questions with other PILR teams

  18. PILR: Data Collection • Student & Faculty Surveys • Student Assessment Spreadsheet

  19. PILR: Planning Quarter Deliverables & Deadline Deadlines : March 13, 2011 (winter) & June 30, 2011 (spring) Planning • Integrated Assignment Template • Instruction Plan (use curriculum plan guide) • A summary of activities during the quarter • Reimbursement Request (one form per college) • Implementing • Integrated Assignment & Instruction Plan Report • Student Assessment Spreadsheets • Student Response Survey • Faculty Perceptions Survey

  20. Naming Files What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet…but still… • Team ID + Quarter + File name = • LCC-A1-Q1-assignmentABE.docx
