Proposal
Are you wondering how to adapt the old standards to the new framework? We were too, but we think we’ve found a way. We deconstructed all the information literacy competencies, arranged the threshold concepts according to Bloom’s taxonomy within each frame (in order to scaffold learning from lower to higher order thinking), then mapped the big ideas and the related skills and abilities across four levels of proficiency in order to construct our own institutional benchmarks. Wanna know how we did it? Come find out! We will discuss our process and how we use our living document as the foundation for our instruction program and for identifying the learning objectives for individual classes. After attending this session you will have an understanding of how to create your own information literacy blueprint for your school.
