Both incoming university freshmen and high school seniors were assessed with the use of TRAILS (Tool for Real-Time Assessment of Information Literacy Skills).

information literacy skills, standards, organization,

What can librarians do to not only support this curricular movement, but become leaders in their schools?

This pre-conference will provide strategies for demonstrating the school librarian’s role in PBL through instructional partnerships to ensure success for K-12 students, teachers, and librarians.
