Editor's Notes

  1. Wanted to put this in to show the length of time and the progression of work done
  2. Gives staff the opportunity to shape the direction and focus of the schoolSeamless Transition Group – looked at teaching IL across campuses, within departments, across year levels and subject areasFrom all research undertaken all staff voted – in the Action for 2008 list, Information Literacy was rated 3rd with 71% of staff vote. On a scale of 1-5 (5 being the highest) Impact on Student Learning rated a 5
  3. Results presented in Dunedin in February 2006Teachers and lecturers rated students ability to decide/understand (46-59%), find/search (39-66%), Use/select/evaluate (41-63%), acknowledge use (29-53%Students rated themselves 88%, 79%, 81%, 82%Actual results were: 43%, 30%, 34%, 37%
  4. Spend some time developing your own ideal – what you would like it to look likeOnly tackle one thing at a time thoughTake time to consolidate before moving on to the next stageErica McWilliam – liked-minded colleagues = flockmates (probably only 2 or 3). Share dreams, brainstorm, celebrate successes and vent when things don’t go the way you plannedThink about potential collaborators on staff. Who do you already have a good relationship with? Who could you work with? Who might be open to working with you?Plan something simple and test it out
  5. Getting to grips with the lingo is important. Get good definitions of all the different types of literacy as it will help in your planning
