The Information-powered School Summary

At the heart of the publication of Information Power was the idea that school library media specialists and teachers could work together to make certain that their students were becoming information literate. This work includes 40 templates and model forms, all tested in actual Library Power sites. It outlines a specific plan for school library media specialists and teachers to share the responsibilities of planning, teaching, and assessing student learning and offering a coherent curriculum. Included are tips from experienced practitioners on gathering the support of teachers and principals, on managing new roles and responsibilities, and on leading the charge to integrate information literacy and technology into curricula. Using this hands-on guide, the user should start to see information-literate students engaged in inquiry-based learning and using library media resources and services in new and productive ways. For every school librarian, media centre specialist, educator, and principal who wants to activate Information Power in their schools, here are flexible strategies for creating dramatic and collaborative change.
