Oneida/Herkimer and Madison-Oneida School Library
Systems
Sponsored in parts by an Library Services and
Technology Act Grant in 1999,
Title III - Technology Literacy Challenge Grant in
2000 and
A Library Services and Technology Act Grant in 2003.
This scope and sequence is
intended to be a guideline for school library media specialists and classroom
teachers as they work together to meet the New York State Learning Standards as
well as the American Association of School Librarians Information Literacy Standards for Student Learning. The responsibility for imparting the
knowledge and skills does not lie with any one individual; rather it is the
collaboration of teachers and library media specialists that will result in the
successful completion of the scope and sequence.
The scope and sequence grid
shows each learner outcome being introduced at a specific grade level. Our intention is that each of these should
be introduced by that grade level; they
may be introduced earlier. This grid is
designed for the school library media specialist to define the library and
information literacy skills which they are responsible for teaching.
Many of the outcomes introduced
in the elementary grades will need to be reviewed at the secondary level. The goal is that students will be able to
use the knowledge and skills gained from these learner outcomes independently
at the junior and/or senior high level.
These are lifelong information skills that we hope students will take
with them into the future.
This scope and sequence is
linked with the New York State Learning Standards through the Points of Collaboration documents
created in 2003. We hope that these Points of Collaboration will be the tool
to link classroom teachers from their target Performance Indicators to the
School Library Media Program at appropriate junctures to teach content as well
as library and information literacy skills through information-based learning.
