In this model the teacher, librarian and tech teacher are working separately. The resources being provided will provide a connection to lessons of the classroom teachers. Knowledge of the classroom lessons is known but there is no shared planning, creating or teaching.
This level is similar to many of the projects we planned last year. We had a common planning time, a planning sheet, created a schedule and separately taught our skills. “Full integration of information literacy processes and curriculum content is not achieved at this level.” Stripling, 1999
These projects may be viewed as an “add on” to the curriculum. They were missing an inquiry approach and did not provide a higher level of thinking for the students. The children missed the opportunity to be guided by more than one teacher and the deeper learning of the topic.
“ Through collaboration, information skills are taught in context of new and creative units of study. As a result, students benefit and achievement rises.” Buzzeo 2007
