TL Leads Information Literacy
I don't suppose I'd ever thought much about the signs relating to the process of information literacy I have seen hanging in the library all these years - defining etc. The TL also never spoke about this process to the staff so I assumed she had it all under control and that it was a "library thing". I can now see that it needs to be a part of literacy instruction which is, of course, the responsibility of all teachers in the school. How can this happen without collaboration and training and technology? These need to play a central role in the planning and teaching of any curriculum. It cannot be achieved during a thirty minute "research" lesson but by a syllabus embedded model working in collaboration with all teachers. I am excited by the prospect of being able to make a change not only in what students learn but in teaching them how to learn by further investigation of the models for teaching information literacy.
