TITLE:  Mapping K-16 Connections for Student Success: Information Literacy across the Educational Spectrum

ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
ACRL National colleagues Heather Ball and Caroline Fuchs discuss the work behind their recent article mapping the commonalities and intersectionalities among the CCSS, the AASL Standards, and the ACRL Framework, based on an examination of the results of the crosswalk developed by the authors. This PD session would be of interest to librarians looking in information literacy along the continuum from K-12 through higher ed.
