Mission Statement / Essential Element 1
Information Literacy: Teaching and Learning Information literacy is the ability to access, evaluate, interpret, appreciate, and communicate information from a variety of sources and formats. Information literacy instruction will help students become successful independent learners, critical thinkers, and problem solvers. Teachers and library media specialists, through collaboration must deliberately and thoughtfully teach information literacy skills and the research process. Educators should collaborate to plan and deliver instruction for information literacy that is integrated with curricular objectives and promotes student achievement of learning goals. The LPS Guide to Integrated Information Literacy Skills describes four categories of information literacy: Through repeated practice and purposeful application of these skills, students will acquire the necessary information literacy tools that form a foundation for becoming lifelong learners. Effective instructional practices that contribute to student learning of information literacy include: Students have unique abilities, diverse perceptions and varied learning styles. Educators must help them acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes to become lifelong learners. Effective learners and thinkers use background knowledge, apply learning strategies, are mindful of their own thinking and are motivated. By acquiring strategies and practicing the learning/research process, students will build the skills necessary to answer questions, solve problems, synthesize and communicate information in school, work and life.

Essential Skills for New Teachers Educational Leadership , by Jerome Freiberg, Volume Number , March 2002, Pages 56-60 H. Jerome Freiberg Without access to the pedagogical skills of veteran teachers, many new teachers are unprepared to face the challenges of the classroom. New teachers are often limited in their repertoire of instructional strategies. Many teachers enter the teaching field directly from university teacher preparation programs, where they mastered minimal pedagogical knowledge or skills. Often, they are not taught how to establish the positive, organized learning environment necessary for them to teach and for students to learn. Some teachers enter the field with almost no formal teacher training, through alternative certificate programs. For example, under the 2001 "Teach for Georgia" plan, college graduates with a 2.5 or higher grade point average may be certified to teach in 30 days (Coburn, 2001).

    FIELD-INITIATED STUDIES GRANT AWARDS FOR FY 1997
    The Student Achievement Institute awarded 5 grants, totaling almost $1 million. Recipients included two research organizations and 3 universities. Projects addressed topics related to: implementation of standards-based reform in urban schools, redesign of classroom instruction in core curriculum areas, the impact of trained substitute teachers on student achievement, the effects of class size reduction on instructional practices, and use of model-centered instruction to improve middle-school science education. The Effects of Class Size Reduction on Students' Opportunities to Learn This project examines the effects of reductions in class size on curriculum and instructional practices in California elementary schools. Case studies of teaching practices will be conducted in sixteen classrooms with data collected through interviews and videotaping. A sample survey of 200 schools will also be administered to compare classroom practices in third grade classes reduced to 20 or fewer students with regular classrooms of 30 or more students.

    NEW TESTS ESSENTIAL TO RAISING STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
    By Mark Christie The new tests are not being given just to burden students and teachers with more tests, but are part of a sweeping reform program aimed at raising academic standards and student achievement levels. Predictably, with systemic change comes criticism. But the current state of student achievement in our public schools is just not what it needs to be. Consider:
    • Nearly one in three 6th-graders in Virginia public schools fails the Literacy Passport Test, which measures the most rudimentary levels of reading, writing and math skills, and in local school divisions with high percentages of minority children, such as Norfolk and Portsmouth, the failure rate is consistently worse than the statewide rate; (Source: Outcome Accountability Project, Va. Dept. of Education) One in four Virginia public school graduates entering our colleges and universities requires remedial work before attempting college-level classes; (Source: State Council of Higher Education)
    But as the Pilot all The tests are benchmarks of progress or, conversely, early warning signs of trouble to be remediated. Anyone who has ever run a business knows that benchmarking is essential. From the corner hot dog vendor who daily adds up sales and expenses, to multinational corporations with sophisticated programs for measuring a plethora of inputs and outputs, in the business world benchmarking is a prerequisite for success. So should it be in our public schools. The SOL tests represent a benchmarking initiative more accurate and comprehensive than ever before attempted.

    Learning and Teaching Information Technology
    Computer Skills in Context
    by Michael B. Eisenberg and Doug Johnson There is clear and widespread agreement among the public and educators that all students need to be proficient computer users or "computer literate." However, while districts are spending a great deal of money on technology, there seems to be only a vague notion of what computer literacy really means. Can the student who operates a computer well enough to play a game, send e-mail or surf the Web be considered computer literate? Will a student who uses computers in school only for running tutorials or an integrated learning system have the skills necessary to survive in our society? Will the ability to do basic word processing be sufficient for students entering the workplace or post-secondary education? Clearly not. In too many schools, teachers and students still use computers only as the equivalent of expensive flash cards, electronic worksheets, or as little more than a typewriter. The productivity side of computer use in the general content area curriculum is neglected or grossly underdeveloped (Moursund, 1995). Recent publications by educational associations are advocating for a more meaningful use of technology in schools (ISTE, 2000). Educational technologists are clearly describing what students should know and be able to do with technology. They are advocating integrating computer skills into the content areas, proclaiming that computer skills should not be taught in isolation and that separate "computer classes" do not really help students learn to apply computer skills in meaningful ways. There is increasing recognition that the end result of computer literacy is not knowing how to operate computers, but to use technology as a tool for organization, communication, research, and problem solving. This is an important shift in approach and emphasis.
