5. Research says … Librarians are Essential “School librarians provide the blueprint for teaching students research skills, digital citizenship, safety online, and information communication skills.” (AASL)AASL “The more often students receive information literacy instruction from library media specialists, the higher their test scores.” (Scholastic)Scholastic

6. “Search” vs. “Research” https://bestcareerblogs.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/clipart_of_16433_smjpg_2.jpg Where do students seek information?

7. What are some other issues that make “doing student research right” challenging for you? Issues & Challenges and Turn Talk http://images.onlinelabels.com/images/clip-art/Anonymous/Anonymous_Chat_icon.png

8. What makes student research challenging? Survey says … 10. Low-level “bird report” research tasks in curriculum 5. Plagiarism, cut & paste research, copyright violations 2. Limited access to technology (student computers, WiFi) 6. Student over-reliance on Google & crowd-sourced info 4. Lack of real-world relevance = low student interest 7. Assumption that “tech saavy” students already have skills 8. Research assigned as enrichment or outside project 9. Librarians not involved in curriculum development 3. Teacher misperception of librarian’s role, no collaboration 1. Lack of time for full research process & info lit instruction

9. Foundations: Information Literacy Process Models Dr. Jamie McKenzie (fno.org)  Online Research Modules (1997)  Research Cycle (1999)  Slam Dunk Digital Lesson (2002) Scenario Task & Product AssessmentsQuestions Gather & Sort OrganizeConclusion

10. Dr. Carol Kuhlthau et. al. CISSL @ Rutgers University (cissl.rutgers.edu)  Information Search Process/ISP (1985)  Guided Inquiry (2007)  Guided Inquiry Design (2012) Foundations: Information Literacy Process Models

11. ORMs & Guided Inquiry Design Kuhlthau, C.C., Maniotes, L.K., & Caspari, A.K. (2012). Guided inquiry design: A framework for inquiry in your school. Santa Barbara, CA: Libraries Unlimited. Scenario Task & Product AssessmentsQuestions Gather & Sort OrganizeConclusion

12. “Third Space” in Guided Inquiry Design

13. Development  Library Media team on site at our annual Summer Curriculum Workshops  We collaborate with content curriculum writers to design ORMs and Slam Dunk lessons for specific units  Models are referenced in content curriculum guides  Teachers are directed to collaborate with their library media specialist for planning & implementation http://rt3region4.ncdpi.wikispaces.net/file/view/clipart_board_meeting.jpg

14. Implementation  Models accessible online from public portal or LMS  Complete “package” with all resources linked  Library media specialist & teacher collaborate for planning & teaching/co-teaching  Some steps done in Library, in classroom, or at home  Face-to-face information literacy instruction provided at “zones of intervention”  Independent access to “just in time” support resources including those in our BCPS K-12 Research Guides http://www.ka-net.org.uk/files/images/learning_support-logo.jpg

15. ORM/Slam Dunk Portal

16. Online Research Models for In-Depth Research High School Example (English Language Arts – Grade 11)  How would a founding father respond to a contemporary American issue?

17. Online Research Models for In-Depth Research Elementary Example (ELA & Social Studies – Grade 5)  Is Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s narrative poem “Paul Revere’s Ride” historically accurate? What really happened?
