Our staff is committed to the success of every student, and data analysis is a huge focus in guiding curriculum instruction. The library's task is to support our UIP and school wide goals through leadership, collaboration, instruction, and program advocacy. 21st Century Skills and the National Technology Education Standards are the driving force behind every decision, collaborative activity, and program created by the library.

 * **GOAL **

**1 ** || **School Unified Improvement Plan Goal (UIP) Goal ** |||| Maintain newly established, rigorous expectations across core instruction while refining progress monitoring, scaffolds/supports, and differentiated instruction in the area of writing. || [|7th Grade Citation Worksheet] [|CARP Poster] [|The Big 6] [|Directions for Website Activity] [|Practice Evaluating Websites] <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">[|CARP CARD] <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">[|Google Poll Pre/Post Assessment] <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">[|Research Pages on Drake Library Website] ||

Within that scope, I am building collegiate relationships as a Curriculum Development Advisor (#10) in the area of Information Literacy.
 * 1) **<span style="color: #4f81bd; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">2. ** <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Information Literacy is not only a 21st Century Skill and NETS expectation, it is also nested within the ELA curriculum. To support ELA (writing), I am realigning expectations surrounding research skills (evaluating website/resources, creating bibliographies, and reinforcing academic language) by creating a common culture of expectation throughout the school. ||
 * ^  || **<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">My SMART goal which is worded to //show alignment between UIP and HESL Target area// ** |||| <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Information literacy supports our school’s UIP goal of writing by teaching students how to research by evaluating resources for reliability (comparative analysis), being able to justify reasoning using academic language, and creating bibliographic evidence for research projects which are all pre-writing aspects used in core classes. ||
 * || **<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">My Strategies/Indicators for carrying out my SMART goal ** |||| * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Met with Steamboat teachers to ask for their participation (Sept). To measure and acquire data, I will focus on my work with one 7th grade team (Steamboat), although all students will be participating in the lessons.
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Met with ELA department head to see how I could support ELA in the area of Information Literacy (Sept).
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">In September, during my first collaborative work with Steamboat students, I gave a pre-assessment to ascertain what they know and don’t know about information literacy. This will become my baseline data.
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Create and distribute anchor charts that explain CARP (evaluative tools for research) and The Big 6 (the research process) to ALL science, ELA, and social studies teachers.
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">The assessment will be given each time I work with the Steamboat team. Science will be in January and ELA will be in the Spring.
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Formative assessments involve the collection of worksheets that build on research knowledge, and final bibliographies (some annotated) will be given (see links below).
 * || **<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">My Partners ** |||| <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I will be specifically working with the science, social studies, and ELA teachers on Steamboat to acquire data, but will collaborate with 7th grade social studies and 8th grade ELA teachers to ensure ALL students receive the same information and practice using it within content areas. ||

 * <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Formative assessments: 7th Grade Citation worksheet, C ARP CARD, and formal bibliographies will be graded and/or given to provide opportunities to practice and reinforce research skills. These will also vary over the course of the year, depending on the research assignments given by individual teachers. ||
 * || **<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">MEASURABLE EVIDENCE of Student Growth ** |||| <span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">In April 2015, I will conduct a final Google Poll (Post-Assessment) to gauge student knowledge and growth in the area of Information Literacy. The goal specifically targets five questions and raising the percentage of students who answer those questions correctly to proficient (67% or higher). ||

Technology is an integral part of daily life in our world today, and provides students with the opportunity to show their learning in creative and collaborative ways. It is important that teachers learn the skill as well, and that they create technology opportunities that support and expand learning through purposeful planning that focuses on critical thinking (synthesis, analysis, evaluation, and inquiry) and aligns with core standards and essential questions. By leading tutorials and providing more opportunities for collaboration, teachers will learn how valuable tech tools can be. ||   ||

 * ^  || **<span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">My Strategies/Indicators for carrying out my SMART goal ** || * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Provide specific tutorials every other Thursday afternoon (focusing on Schoology, Google Research., and New Web tools like Storybird, Powtoons, Vocaroo, and more).
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Provide incentive by offering re-certification hours for attendance.
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Provide an intensive two hour Schoology session at the beginning of the year so teachers can set up their grade books.
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Personally take the Wired Writing course to gain more knowledge on technology tools that are easily integrated and provide opportunities for purposeful learning.
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Collaborate with teachers using new web products (Powtoons, Storybird, Vocaroo, etc…) within their core content. This includes continued learning and support using Schoology.
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Email teachers about new tools that may be great for their content.
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Share new tools and collaborative opportunities by attending department meetings on an as needed schedule (at least once a trimester)
 * <span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">Be available for one-on-one tutoring to accommodate teacher schedules. ||  ||
