About the Information Skills Process (ISP)
Information skills in the school provides a framework for developing student skills to enhance information literacy. When partnered with the Quality Teaching model, it can inform professional judgments about targeted, explicit information skills teaching interventions for class units of work and cross curriculum priorities, such as literacy and integrating ICT. A guided inquiry approach could also enrich the teaching process.
Extracts from Dr Carol Gordon’s PowerPoint The school library: a 21st century classroom? provide insights into creating an inquiry-based learning task. The Professional Teachers' Council NSW Toolkit A-Z suggests many useful digital tools for undertaking these learning tasks.
Linking the information process with Quality Teaching is a PowerPoint presentation from the article Quality teaching: information skills and literature circles by Jan Reynolds in Scan volume 25, number 4, November 2006. Use this for ideas for staff development sessions.Links4Learning
