Information Literacy Instruction

To align the library media program with the Wisconsin State Standards of Learning in the core content areas and implement the national standards for student learning as published by AASL & AECT, the library media program has implemented information literacy standards and performance indicators at all grade levels, K-12. These standards and indicators have correlated the WASD Essential Learnings with the Wisconsin Standards of Learning. To effectively teach this curriculum, it is imperative that the library media specialist establish collaborative partnerships with classroom teachers by:

• serving on curriculum development committees at all levels in order to integrate information literacy and provide instructional resources

• working jointly with teachers as partners in the planning, designing, teaching and evaluation of instructional activities;

• assisting both teachers and students in the effective use of instructional technologies;

• establishing the integration of information literacy skills across the curriculum.
