Betsy Ross Curriculum Units |
| The
Universal Planning Tool, developed by
Dr. K. Michael Hibbard, Region
15, CT. is used at Betsy Ross Arts Magnet School to develop
Collaborative (Thematic) teaching units. Based upon the mission of the
Information Literacy Curriculum which ensures that all students in the
New Haven Public Schools are effective users and producers of ideas and
information, teachers meet with the Library Media Specialist in formulating
Collaborative Units based upon their curriculum themes. Collaboration is the
key to the successful implementation of the curriculum. Through the
collaboration between teachers, library media specialist, technology
facilitator and other instructional specialists students will learn
information problem-solving strategies for use throughout life. Integrating
current and future technologies with information problem-solving techniques,
good teaching strategies using resource-based teaching and learning and
motivational reading incentive programs, students will learn skills and
processes that will guarantee their becoming effective users and producers
of ideas and information. Below is an example of a cover from one collaborative unit. |
