Description

Regardless of what educators maintain, the general public believes test scores accurately reflect student performance and school success. This situation places enormous pressure on schools to improve, but it also offers opportunities for library media specialists to help students learn valuable information literacy skills that in turn will improve test scores. By joining forces with educators, media specialists can demonstrate how information literacy skills strengthen student performance as well as instruct teachers on teaching and testing information skills within the context of classroom content. Teaching and Testing Information Literacy Skills will help library media specialists educate teachers on information literacy skills and increase collaboration for effective test-taking preparation.
