  3. History Behind the Standards • Learning standards vs. guidelines • History of the standards • Information Power • ALA Conference in Reno • Barbara Stripling and Gail Dickinson

  4. Common Beliefs • Reading is a window to the world. • Inquiry provides a framework for learning. • Ethical behavior in the use of information must be taught. • Technology skills are crucial for future employment needs. • Equitable access is a key component for education. • The definition of information literacy has become more complex as resources and technologies have changed. • The continuing expansion of information demands that all individuals acquire the thinking skills to learn on their own. • Learning has a social context. • School libraries are essential to the development of learning skills.

  5. The Framework Standards Strands Indicators Benchmarks

  6. Standards Learners use information literacy skills, resources, and tools to: • Inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge. • Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations, and create new knowledge. • Share knowledge and participate ethically and productively as members of our democratic society. • Pursue personal and aesthetic growth.

  7. The Framework Standards Strands Indicators Benchmarks

  8. The Strands Four parts of each standard: • Skills • Dispositions in action • Responsibilities • Self-assessment strategies

  9. The Framework Standards Strands Indicators Benchmarks

  10. Indicators • Sub-categories that describe what abilities students should demonstrate within each of the four strands of each standard. • Administrators look for numbers (i.e. 1.2.1, 2.1.3, 3.1.2, etc.)

  11. How do we use these? • Take a critical look at current/past lesson plans • Compare using the key questions • Use forthcoming benchmarks

  12. Key Question:Skills • Does the student have the right proficiencies to explore a topic or subject further?

  13. Key question:Dispositions • Is the student disposed to higher-level thinking and actively engaged in critical thinking to gain and share knowledge?

  14. Key question:Responsibilities • Is the student aware that the foundational traits for 21st-century learning require self-accountability that extends beyond skills and dispositions?

  15. Key question:Self-Assessment Strategies • Can the student recognize personal strengths and weaknesses over time and become a stronger, more independent learner?
