Overview
This session is aimed at information specialists who are seeking to develop, refresh or build upon information literacy programs within their schools in a scalable way. The discussion will showcase practical methods for supporting both depth and breadth in students' abilities to navigate and use information effectively across the upper primary and secondary years, and how to develop information literacy programs that scale across year levels and subject domains. We'll explore concrete approaches to deepen understanding in the subject areas while broadening information fluency skills, from targeted instruction to scalable resources. Join us for a grounded discussion on amplifying the impact of information literacy initiatives, fostering a generation of critical thinkers poised for success in an information-rich world.
