LSTA Grant Overview What is this project about? Team Introductions Curriculum/Assignment Design Using the Rubrics designed for PILR Sharing Data Deliverables Q & A
LSTA Grant Basics
All 34 colleges may participate in: Professional development Continuing assessment of
learning outcomes Specific populations (pre-college,
“rising junior”)
Steering Committee: Myra Van Vactor, Deb Gilchrist,
Katy Dichter, Lynn Kanne & Wai-Fong Lee
PLUS: Mindy Coslor, Jon Kerr, Maureen Pettitt (PILR)
2010-2011
Other Activities: “Rising Junior” – IL for transfer students Summer ACRL “Immersion Refresher”
Pre-college Information Literacy Research Initiative (PILR)
PILR: Research Question
How does/Does information literacy contribute to overall learning and transition for pre-college students?Phase 1
Develop/find methods for integrating IL into pre-college programs
Phase 2Seek evidence to support the hypothesis that IL instruction makes a difference in overall learning and transition for pre-college students

Tips for New Teams
Advice from one of your colleagues: Select your partners carefully.
“I am having an excellent experience b/c I selected a faculty member who is professional, competent and dedicated, who also has patience and a sense of humor and follow through. These qualities will serve you well in the necessary reporting, etc.”
Be realisticThink creatively but also recognize the goals of the project and the parameters it sets.
Be flexible…be willing to think outside your box so that INFO LIT goals as well as the learning goals of the instructor can be honored.

Asks students to perform real-world tasks that demonstrate meaningful application of essential knowledge or skills. –Jon Mueller
PILR: Authentic Assessment
Focuses more on what a student can do than on what a student knows
Usually includes a task and a rubric for evaluating performance
The assessment (assignment, task) is also the vehicle for learning
PILR: Curriculum Planning Template
Learning Outcomes: What should the student be able to do?
Knowledge base: What does the student need to know to do it well?
Activity: How will the student learn?
Demonstration of learning: What will the student do to show what they have learned?
Criteria: How do you know the student has done this well?
PILR: Integrative Assignments
Integrative Learning…connects skills and knowledge from multiple sources and experiences…
Integrative Assignments
Focus on targeted knowledge, methods, and/or skills
Have a central activity that builds and integrates understanding
Integrate naturally with other course assignments so students see research as part of a larger process
Consider the most effective collaboration between library faculty and discipline faculty
Integrative Assignments
Generative Topics Relevant to students in their
roles as community members, workers, and family members
Central to one or more disciplines or areas of expertise
Accessible through multiple means
Connected to other topics taught
Integrative Assignments
Assessment Strategies Target learning outcomes Are based on explicit criteria set forth in the
rubric Include self, peer, and teacher, as
appropriate Offer informative feedback to students
Tip: Look over “Assignment & Instruction Plan Reports” – especially the notes sections.
Integrative Assignments
Learning Outcomes Focus on key
understandings Clear, explicit and
shared Address learning
challenges Align to standards
