- Writing a Truly Useful Library/Research Scope and Sequence-It's Worth It! with Ellen Cothran, Librarian & Media Specialist, Pacific Ridge School (CA).
We’ll begin from the underlying concept of backward design--what do we (the librarian, classroom teachers, administration) want our graduates to know and be able to do? From there, we’ll use Pacific Ridge School’s Library/Research Scope and Sequence as a model for
- identifying large areas of focus in library/research standards,
- choosing fundamental student expectations within those areas, and
- within each expectation, composing questions for students ascertaining their grasp of specific knowledge and abilities.
