The course is applicable for school librarians and educators who wish to learn how to document evidence of their practice and obtain fluency in information literacy and assessment literacy. Students complete a practicum which is a performance based assessment, consisting of 5-8 lessons, collaboratively developed with the student's mentor, based on current research in library and information science and cognitive science, aligned to local, state and national standards, customized to meet the learning needs of a specific student body, implemented within the PreK-12 learning environment, and assessed through a series of formative assessment instruments designed by the graduate student. Graduate students demonstrate that they have consulted and collaborated with specialists in the PreK-12 environment to identify appropriate resources, technology (including assistive technology) and instruction to meet the individualized needs of students with disabilities and other special learning needs. The design of the curriculum unit must demonstrate knowledge of the PreK-12 students' cultural backgrounds, individual needs, talents and personal interests. The lessons exhibit knowledge of individual students' cognitive style, prior learning, and apply knowledge of criteria and procedures for evaluating, selecting, creating and adjusting instructional materials to meet the learning needs of all students. Formative assessment information is gathered, interpreted and used to shape current and subsequent instruction to determine whether the PreK-12 students have mastered the specified learning objectives. Assessment information is also used to help graduate students modify their instruction to help all PreK-12 students master the learning objectives. A final report documents of evidence of the graduate student's practice: summarizes the results and provides a self-reflective assessment describing pedagogical and instructional strategies to improve his/her practice. Includes 50 school library field experience hours. Prerequisites: Ist 670 and Ist 672; permission of department is required.
