Warwickshire Schools Library Service | Secondary Network Meeting and Training

25th June 2020 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

  • « IFLA School Libraries Section | Midyear Meeting 2020
  • The Value Added School Librarian »

David Deutsch said that in a world where knowledge is growing exponentially, the tools for acquiring and interpreting that knowledge must be at least as important as the actual knowledge itself.

This growing challenge for schools is an unprecedented opportunity for school librarians, provided that we are familiar with the tools for acquiring and interpreting knowledge.

FOSIL is such a tool.

FOSIL is a model of the inquiry process and an underlying continuum of inquiry skills, which includes information literacy skills, stretching from Early Years through to Year 13. It was  adopted in 2012 and is based on the exemplary Empire State Information Fluency Continuum (2009/2012, 2019), which serves 3.2 million students in 4,236 schools in New York State alone. FOSIL is also at the centre of The FOSIL Group, a growing community of mainly teachers and librarians – currently 151 – adapting this particular tool to their specific needs.

The session will provide an introduction to and overview of FOSIL and related resources, as well as a discussion of how FOSIL might be adapted to the specific needs of colleagues.
