SUMMARY:Caravan of Knowledge – STEM through PBL
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Hutchinson will be delivering FOSIL (Framework Of Skills for Inquiry Learning) An approach to learning through Inquiry on Tuesday 17 and Friday 21 August. \nThis special event occurs in Kazakhstan to support innovative practices in teaching and learning. Through this event\, teachers from all over Kazakhstan are exploring and planning ways to implement powerful practices that bring alive STEM and Project Based Learning experiences so that students build agency skills and take the lead in their learning. \nAbstract \nInquiry-based learning supports independence and critical thinking\, but without a process to ensure our students have learnt the practical skills in a structured way it is like asking them to run before they can walk. FOSIL is a well researched and used model of the inquiry process that provides a practical and usable inquiry-based learning model for all year groups and subjects. In this session\, we will unpack FOSIL as an approach to learning\, demonstrating how the different stages work whilst giving you access to resources and practical ideas to get you started.

SUMMARY:The Value Added School Librarian
DESCRIPTION:The IFLA School Library Guidelines are clear that without a pedagogical program – a planned\, comprehensive offering of teaching and learning activities – a qualified school library professional\, which is the most critical condition for an effective school library program\, will not be able to have the kind of positive impact on teaching and learning that the research demonstrates is possible. \nThe Guidelines outline five core activities of the library’s pedagogical program: \n\nLiteracy and reading promotion\nMedia and information literacy instruction\nInquiry-based teaching and learning\nTechnology integration\nProfessional development for teachers\n\nThis webinar reflects on these five core activities. \n\n09.00 : Login\n09.05 : Welcome: Caroline Roche\, SLG Chair\n09.10 : Introducing the IFLA School Library Guidelines – Darryl Toerien\, Oakham School and SLG Representative on IFLA School Libraries Section Standing Committee\n09.25 : Literacy & Reading Promotion: Reading for Learning – Alice Visser–Furay Literacy Coordinator & Reading Intervention Specialist\, King Alfred’s Academy\, Wantage\n09.55 : Media & Information Literacy – Cathal Coyle\, Librarian\, St Patrick’s College\, Dungannon\, County Tyrone\n10.25 : Inquiry-based Learning Models – Elizabeth Hutchinson\, Adviser & Trainer for School Libraries & Sue Bussey\, Library Resource Manager\, Derby High School\n10.55 : Coffee and brain break\n11.15 : Technology Integration – Sarah Pavey\, Independent Consultant & Trainer\, SP4IL\n11.45 : Professional Development for Teachers – Chris Foster\, Head of Student Research & Teacher of Chemistry\, Oakham School\n12.15 : Looking Forwards from the IFLA School Library Guidelines – Dianne Oberg\, Professor Emerita\, University of Alberta and co-editor of the Guidelines\n13.00 : Conclusion\, Take the Pledge  – Caroline Roche & Elizabeth Hutchinson\n13.15 : END

SUMMARY:Warwickshire Schools Library Service | Secondary Network Meeting and Training
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis growing challenge for schools is an unprecedented opportunity for school librarians\, provided that we are familiar with the tools for acquiring and interpreting knowledge. \nFOSIL is such a tool. \nFOSIL 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. \nThe 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.

SUMMARY:SLA Regional Training Course | Using Inquiry to Engage Teachers Across the Curriculum
DESCRIPTION:Elizabeth Hutchinson will be delivering a Regional Training Course for the School Library Association. \nUsing Inquiry to Engage Teachers Across the Curriculum \nIf the workforce is to be future proofed education systems in the UK must be designed to equip everyone with strong literacy and numeracy skills\, information literacy and a mind set that is flexible\, creative and adaptive. – Science and Technology Committee\, (HC 270) (2016-17) \nOne of the many roles of a school librarian is to teach Information Literacy\, but knowing what this means and taking it out of the library and embedding it in the curriculum are two very different things. It can often be a struggle to get Senior Leaders or teachers to understand what this is and why this is important. This course will help you to recognise and understand the important links between inquiry as an approach to learning and information literacy. Give you the vocabulary that will support your conversations with teachers and provide you with practical ideas to create lessons that your teachers will love. \nThis course will: \n\nUnpack information literacy and its links to the curriculum\nHelp you to understand the place and role of information literacy within inquiry\nGive you ideas on how to engage teachers using your school library resources and digital tools\nHelp you be prepared to talk about inquiry as an approach to learning\nGive you an awareness of how FOSIL (Framework Of Skills for Inquiry Learning) can be used to plan lessons across the curriculum

SUMMARY:JCS 2019 | Digital Literacy in Schools: building capabilities
DESCRIPTION:Darryl will be presenting Not letting the technological tail wag the educational dog: the case for a framework of inquiry skills at JCS 2019. \nAs Marshall McLuhan famously said\, “We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us.” \nThis co-evolution is both inevitable and increasingly problematic – as our technologies converge on the computer\, and the computer accelerates their ongoing development\, so the risk of these technologies becoming ends in themselves rather than means to human ends increases. \nThis creates several challenges for schools\, which include but are not limited to vision and strategy\, initial and ongoing costs\, initial and ongoing training for staff and students\, and the tension between existing and emerging technologies. \nOf particular interest and relevance to the themes of the Conference\, and the focus of this talk\, is the tension between existing and emerging technologies as they relate to skills. Given the rate of technological change\, it is understandable that emerging technologies are determining the skills that need to be taught. However\, this allows the tail to wag the dog. \nIn this talk Darryl will consider the value of a framework of inquiry skills – central to which are information literacy skills\, and a growing number of which are dependent on “digital-age technologies” (Douglas Rushkoff) – to ensuring that the technological tail does not wag the educational dog.

SUMMARY:School Library Association in the Republic of Ireland | November Conference 2019
DESCRIPTION:Darryl will be presenting on FOSIL at the SLARI Inspiration Literacy: Inquiry Based Learning and Philosophy in the Library Conference. \nSeymour Papert – central to revolutions in child development\, AI and computational technologies for education – highlighted that it is impossible to teach students everything that they need to know\, so the best we can do is to position them where they can find out what they need to know when they need to know it. This is our increasingly urgent task\, and it does not happen by chance. \nThe talk focuses on our efforts to reach this position by design through the development of a Framework Of Skills for Inquiry Learning (FOSIL). As a model of the inquiry process\, FOSIL is based on the work of Barbara Stripling\, but is further informed by the ground-breaking work of Carol Kuhlthau in describing the affective\, cognitive and physical demands of inquiry in order to shape more effective interventions. The talk concludes with a consideration of the many and varied benefits of FOSIL\, especially to students.

SUMMARY:International Association of School Librarianship | 48th Annual Conference and the 23rd International Forum on Research on School Librarianship
DESCRIPTION:Darryl will be delivering a keynote: Between the classroom and the library … \nIvan Illich argued that the principal lesson School teaches is the need to be ‘taught’. \nWhile ‘this’ lesson may not be intentional\, it is almost inevitable in an educational paradigm that is centred on ‘teaching’ rather than learning (instructionism). It is also a lesson that increasingly fails to prepare our students for the world unfolding around them. \nWhat might an educational paradigm that is centred on ‘learning’ look like (constructionism)\, and what might it require of us\, particularly in School? \nNorman Beswick\, writing about the Library-College movement that reached its apotheosis in the late 1960s\, points us in the right direction – it is not the library that ‘supports’ the classroom\, but the classroom that leads (or should lead) inevitably and essentially to the library. This is not to say that the library is more important than the classroom\, but that the complex reality in which students have actually been positioned to find what they need to know when they need to know it (Seymour Papert) is the consequence of deliberate and effective collaboration between the classroom and the library\, between teachers and librarians. \nA community is the stories that it tells and the songs that it sings (Leonard Sweet). This is ‘an’ unfolding story/song about trying to locate learning in the space ‘between’ the classroom and the library.
