ELEMENTARY IDEAS AND CONCEPTS
 Project: Second grade students conduct an author study to present to class.

What does it look like when indicator is met? Students will have a trifold board presenting information on the author that they researched. There will be student illustrations and information learned about author as well as books that author has written. What will you observe students doing? Students have a simple rubric that they use to evaluate the work that they did on their project. What will you have done/how helped? Librarian, in collaboration with teacher, will have given students rubric before beginning project. At project completion, librarian will reveiw rubric before students assess themselves.

RUBRIC below is VERY basic. (Laura H.)

What will you observe the students doing? Students will be able to identify and follow instructions as they follow the rubric of Technology Knowledge. Students will do steps to show knowledge of technology as they follow directions of turning computer on, opening excel, formatting a spread sheet in NC categories, they will change font size, enter data and evaluate if information is in correct sequence and correct information as needed. 2. How will you help students to meet this indicator? What will you have done?Teacher will model and guide students through rubric activity, prompt when need direction. The teacher will have introduce the lesson, model what is needed to be done for the activity, processed the data to be entered. (Annette)

HIGH SCHOOL IDEAS AND CONCEPTS
(2.4.1) Independent Judgement of Information

Determine how to act on information (accept, reject, modify) in the upper grade high school setting: What does it look like when this indicator is met? Just because information can be found quickly and easily does not mean you've found good information. When this indicator is met students don't accept articles or information because they were found quickly, are short, or are easy to read. At this point students have learned that good information is timely, reputable, authoritative, well-researched, and objective. When they deal with information that does not meet these standards, they know to keep looking.

What will you observe the students doing? Students carefully read article abstracts, look up the authors of their information, carefully view advertising on the website and/or find which company is behind a news syndicate. They can look for patterns of super conservatism or liberalism on an issue within a certain news source (FOX news vs. CNN), carefully consider the type of medium they are using(whether it's a news magazine or academic journal), and look at the sources and people interviewed to judge whether or not they could be good providers of information (are they an intern in the state department or the Secretary of State).

How will you help students to meet this indicator? Students need to know about all of the resources they have access to within the school library and the community (public library). Knowing these resources exist will encourage those students who go to a college to use their library to the full extent they are able. They also need a framework for how to judge whether information is usable for their purpose.

What will you have done? The librarian will familiarize students with good sources of information, those that might be passed over, and what the difference is between the two. The librarian will emphasize that anyone can author a study or put up a website, but each person has the decision to absorb that information as the truth or use all available research to ensure he/she is well-informed. The librarian should also make students aware of how to cite information properly and use it in the context of their final product without plagiarizing. (Kristen H) (2.4.2) Career Exploration Project:

Students will choose a career that they are interested. Students will research career to find: education requirements, training, starting salary, job duties, work environment, advancement opportunities, geographic location jobs are available, and job outlook for career field. Students will then write a research paper illustrating their understanding of career. Students will use project check sheet and rubic to verify all elements of project are complete. Students will peer review another classmate's project. Students will present research paper to class.

What does it look like when indicator is met? Students will have a complete product ready to be graded. What will you observe students doing? Students will use teacher created rubric or check list to verify that all elements of assignment are completed. Students will make corrections and/or add information were needed to meet all standards and objectives. Students will use peers to verify for a second time all work is complete, accurate, and of high quality. How will you have helped students meet this indicator? Teach basic research skills class to students, including how to properly locate, evaluate, and use resources and how to unpack a research project's directions and rubric to make sure all elements of project are completed. What will you have done? Librarian, in collaboration with teacher, will have created a rubric of project? Librarian will have also pulled research materials, created a pathfinder, and/or taught skills class to students to facilitate project? (Joseph Hayes)

(2.4.3) Argue Your Case Assignment What does it look like when indicator is met? Students now recognize new knowledge, understanding and abilities to become independent, ethical, lifelong learners. Having this new knowledge and understanding gives them the ability to be more efficient evaluators of information, problem solvers and lifelong learners who will continue to contribute to the learning community and ultimately society. What will you observe the students doing? Students will demonstrate their new knowledge and understanding through the completion of their research project by providing research methods and sufficient reasoning for their argument. How will you have helped students meet this indicator? Librarian will have provided students with the access to and knowledge of proper research materials and resources. Librarian will have taught students how to assess the quality and reliability of sources of information. What will you have done? The librarian will have taught students the ability to discern credibility of resources. The librarian will have taught the importance of checking sources against each other for accuracy.
