Information Skills

Information skills are taught within the context of the school's curriculum.  In other words, they are taught in conjunction with teacher generated assignments in the various subject areas. Each subject area is urged to identify appropriate information skills to integrate with its curriculum.

To facilitate the integration of information skills with curriculum, Tantasqua has adopted the Big6 process of effectively using information.  While conducting research for projects, students use the Big6 to identify, synthesize, and evaluate information that is appropriate for the task at hand.  Students use information from a variety of formats, including print, audiovisual, and online resources.

Teachers are welcome to collaborate with the library media specialist to design lessons that incorporate information skills.  The library media specialist is always willing to help your students master these skills with full lessons, mini-lessons, or individual assistance
