SUMMARY:Preconference to AASL 2025 | Leap into the Futute of School Libraries No. 2
DESCRIPTION:Note that this event is being held at the Renaissance St. Louis Airport Hotel\, St. Louis\, Missouri. \nPurpose \nIn the spirit of the former Treasure Mountain Research Retreats\, this new series\, Leap into the Future of School Libraries\, seeks to build a shared research agenda and promote initiatives\, best practices\, action proposals\, and resilience among professionals who are determined to move our field forward. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda \nThroughout the day\, we will alternate between keynote addresses and table talks. Everyone will be encouraged to contribute major ideas\, which will be gathered during the event and beyond as part of a collection of innovative strategies for research\, action\, implementation\, and demonstration—efforts aimed at placing the school library at the center of teaching and learning. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet\, share\, and co-create ideas with a variety of individuals throughout the day. We’ll also enjoy boxed lunches\, coffee available throughout the event\, dinner together\, and a final “idea extravaganza” to close out the day. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeynotes \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBarbara K. Stripling and Darryl Toerien introduce their forthcoming major work\, Teaching Inquiry as Conversation: Bringing Wonder to Life\, to be published by Bloomsbury Libraries Unlimited.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSusan D. Ballard\, Pamela C. Harland\, and Rachel V. Small present findings from a Delphi study conducted with experts in the field to develop a contemporary\, scaffolded model of collaboration. The research identifies key levels of collaboration\, from independent access to fully integrated instructional partnerships\, and illustrates the dispositions and environmental conditions necessary to support each stage. Attendees will explore the finalized model\, discuss implications for their own practice\, and consider how the findings can inform professional learning and advocacy.\n\n\n\n\nKeith Curry Lance reviews the state of data and research across the federal government and thinks with us the future of school library research.

SUMMARY:FOSIL Symposium 2025
DESCRIPTION:Brief contextual details of the presenters may be found here. \nFree and online – register here or see below. \nThe Symposium is an opportunity for colleagues who are developing engaged and empowered inquirers to share with and learn from each other. While our focus is FOSIL-based inquiry\, it is not exclusively so\, and the Symposium is open to and free for all who share our conviction that inquiry\, properly understood and supported\, is the most potent educational survival strategy that we can equip our students with\, which also enables them to thrive. The reason for this is that inquiry is a fundamental human response to reality\, and dealing successfully with reality is the only true measure of human success. The revolution will not be televised\, although in this case it will be recorded. \n08:45 – 09:00 | Welcome | Elizabeth Hutchinson\, School Library Specialist \n09:00 – 09:15 | Revolutionary musing | Dianne Oberg\, Professor Emerita at the University of Alberta\, and Jennifer Branch-Mueller\, Associate Dean in the Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta and President of the International Association of School Librarianship\, co-authors of Focus on inquiry: a teacher’s guide to implementing inquiry-based learning\, which includes the Alberta Inquiry Model \n09:15 – 10:00 | The revolution will not be televised | Lee FitzGerald\, Editor of ACCESS\, Journal of the Australian School Library Association\, and Adjunct Lecturer on the Master of Education: Teacher Librarianship course at Charles Sturt University\, and Joanne Bleby\, History Coordinator at Loreto Kirribilli \n10:00 – 10:15 | Break \n10:15 – 11:45 | FOSIL Developments | Darryl Toerien\, Head of Inquiry-Based Learning at Blanchelande College\, and originator of FOSIL and the FOSIL Group \nInstitute for the Advancement of Inquiry (IAI) \n\nFounding the Institute | Darryl Toerien\nSymbolising the Institute | Lara Stanford\, Year 13 student at Blanchelande College\nIntegrating the Institute | Jane Grange\, Director of Studies at Blanchelande College\nHosting the Institute | Alexa Yeoman\, Principal of Blanchelande College\nValuing the Institute | Mark Le Page\, Managing Director of Orthoginian Limited and former Deputy Director of the Guernsey Financial Services Commission\n\nHeroic Inquiry \n\nConceptualising Heroic Inquiry | Darryl Toerien \nReconceptualising Heroic Inquiry | Hugh Rose\, Illustrator of Traditional Stories\n\n11:45 – 12:00 | Revolutionary musing | Mary-Rose Grieve\, Librarian at Hartland International School\, Co-Chair of Great School Libraries and National Committee member of CILIP’s School Libraries Group \n12:00 – 12:45 | Lunch \n12:45 – 13:30 | The revolution will not be televised | Ruth Maloney\, Librarian at Tonbridge Grammar School \n13:30 – 14:15 | The revolution will not be televised | Jannath Khanom\, Learning Resource Centre Manager at Connaught School for Girls \n14:15 – 14:30 | Break \n14:30 – 15:15 | The revolution will not be televised | David Harrow\, Headmaster at AKS Lytham\, Faye Marland\, Assistant Head (Staff and Student Development)\, and Nick O’Loughlin\, Head of Student Inquiry \n15:15 – 16:15 |  Concluding revolutionary musing | Barbara Stripling\, Professor Emerita at Syracuse University\, and originator of Stripling’s Model of Inquiry and the Empire State Information Fluency Continuum \n16:15 – 16:30 | Farewell | Elizabeth Hutchinson\, School Library Specialist \nNotes on the sessions: \nThe practical sessions – called The revolution will not be televised to\, somewhat ironically\, underscore the fact that the real educational revolution\, the one that is actually needed\, is hard won and for no earthly gain – essentially address three questions: Why inquiry? What are your obstacles to inquiry? Nevertheless\, how are you engaging and empowering inquirers? \nBy contrast\, Revolutionary musing is an opportunity to speak to the moment we find ourselves in. \n— \nFOSIL – and the work of the FOSIL Group through the FOSIL Group website – is supported by the UK School Library Association.

SUMMARY:SJSU School of Information 2024 Conference
DESCRIPTION:Barbara Stripling\, Jenny Toerien and Darryl Toerien will be presenting Engaging and Empowering Learners for Life through Inquiry / Developing Inquiry-Based Schools & School Libraries at the San Jose State University School of Information | Leap into the Future of School Libraries Conference. \nProgram Description \nWhen learners develop an inquiry stance\, they learn to follow their own sense of wonder into new discoveries and insights about themselves\, others\, and the way the world works. Through inquiry\, learners develop the skills and attitudes of independent learning\, a strong self-identity\, cultural responsiveness\, social and emotional health\, voice and agency\, and a growth mindset. In this session\, we will explore teaching these whole-child skills and attitudes to learners throughout their years of schooling through collaboratively planned\, inquiry-based curricular units and direct instruction. By teaching these life skills\, school librarians can empower all students to flourish both in school and beyond.

SUMMARY:IASL 2023 | 51st Annual IASL Conference and 26th International Forum on Research in School Librarianship
DESCRIPTION:Darryl Toerien and Jenny Toerien will be running an extended workshop – Recovering the Educational Promise of Inquiry – at IASL 2023. \nProgram Description \nNeil Postman (1969\, 1979\, 1996) claimed that of all the survival strategies that education has to offer\, none is more potent than the inquiry environment\, and identified tendencies that sap inquiry of its educational potency. These tendencies are: (1) to divorce inquiry as a dynamic process and skills from learning important content; (2) to reduce inquiry to a mechanical process by divorcing it from a spirit of wonder and puzzlement; (3) to divorce inquiry from both a spirit of wonder and puzzlement and a dynamic process\, and so reduce it to a thoughtless fact-finding activity; (4) to “engineer learning” through ever-more technical teaching methods based on ‘hard evidence’ from the field of cognitive science. \nSchools must resist the four tendencies identified above\, and integral to this resistance should be the school librarian.(*) We will explore this practically through a UK Year 6 (US Grade 5) interdisciplinary Signature Work inquiry that integrates curricular work in Science with curricular work in Art & Design\, English\, ICT\, Library and Maths. Because inquiry is a process of building knowledge and understanding of the world from information\, the majority of which exists in recorded form\, inquiry is heavily dependent on reading in its broadest possible sense. Reading for learning\, which includes non-fiction and fiction\, is\, therefore\, timetabled in English lessons. Furthermore\, reflective writing is an essential feature of a Signature Work inquiry\, so students are required to submit a written report of their practical investigation in Science and their work in other subjects\, which is also timetabled in English lessons. Thoughtful reading and writing are\, therefore\, a distinguishing feature of the Signature Work\, which makes it authentically a STREAM inquiry (Science + Technology + Reading and wRiting + Engineering + Arts + Maths). \n(*) Foundational building blocks of our resistance to these tendencies include the IFLA School Library Guidelines (2015) and the work of Barbara Stripling\, specifically\, Empowering Students to Inquire in a Digital Environment (2017). \nFor a fuller description of the workshop\, see IASL 2023 | Recovering the Educational Promise of Inquiry.

SUMMARY:CILIP SLG Scotland | Librarians as Teachers of Sense Making Skills
DESCRIPTION:FOSIL Group member Elizabeth Hutchinson will be sharing with colleagues at a free CILIP School Libraries Group Scotland CPD event. \n— \nLibrarians as teachers of sense-making skills: Framing the learning process through FOSIL \nFOSIL Group member Dr Barbara Striping\, whose influential work informs the ongoing development of FOSIL\, makes the point in E&L Memo 1 | Learning to know and understand through inquiry that “[John] Dewey’s recognition of the need for both content and skills provided solid justification for the role of a school librarian as a teacher of sense-making skills”. \nThis is important for two reasons. Firstly\, it identifies the librarian as a teacher and locates them within a learning process – that of constructing knowledge and understanding from information\, which is an inquiry learning process. Secondly\, it identifies the specialist teaching contribution that the librarian makes to this inquiry learning process – that of enabling students to develop the skills that will empower them to learn by finding out for themselves. \nThis matters\, because being integral to the educational process – as the IFLA/UNESCO School Library Manifesto declares in principle and the IFLA School Library Guidelines affirm in practical terms – requires becoming teachers of these sense-making skills. \nNow inquiry – understood as a stance of wonder and puzzlement that gives rise to a dynamic process of coming to know and understand the world and ourselves in it as the basis for responsible participation in society – is a learning process that depends on these sense-making skills\, which are metacognitive\, cognitive\, affective/ emotional and social. For these skills to be transformational\, both inwardly and outwardly\, they need to be developed systematically and progressively within a sound instructional model of the inquiry learning process\, and in the context of content area teaching. \nFOSIL is both such a model and a PK-12 (age 4-18) framework of these sense-making skills\, along with a growing collection of graphic organizers for developing these skills within the inquiry learning process. More broadly\, and through the FOSIL Group\, FOSIL is also a collaborative and supportive community of inquiry. Viewed and approached in this way\, FOSIL-based inquiry is an effective means for librarians to become instructional partners with their classroom colleagues to the lasting benefit of their students. \nThis talk will provide a background to FOSIL\, an overview of the model and an exploration of how it works by way of diverse practical examples drawn from content area and extracurricular learning.

SUMMARY:SLA | Leading School Libraries:  Library\, School\, Sector
DESCRIPTION:FOSIL Group members Darryl Toerien and Barbara Stripling will be delivering a keynote address at the School Library Association Weekend Course 2021 – Leading School Libraries: Library\, School\, Sector. \n— \nInquiry: an educational and moral imperative \nThe IFLA School Library Guidelines\, rooted in the IFLA/UNESCO School Library Manifesto\, remind us that the school library exists to serve its educational purpose – improving teaching and learning for all – and its moral purpose – making a difference in the lives of young people. While equally important\, our educational purpose forms the frontline of our struggle to secure a vital future for our libraries. In order to fulfil our educational purpose\, we must actually be essential to the educational process\, as both the Manifesto and Guidelines proclaim. As a student-centred educational process to which the school library is essential\, inquiry not only enables us to fulfil our educational purpose\, but also our moral purpose\, and so becomes our educational and moral imperative.

SUMMARY:SLANSW | Inquiry-based Teaching and Learning: A Re-imagination Journey with Dr Barbara Stripling
DESCRIPTION:FOSIL Group member Barbara Stripling will be running a workshop titled Inquiry-based Teaching and Learning: A Re-imagination Journey with Dr Barbara Stripling on 5 June from 9:00 am – 11:00 am (UTC+10:00) as part of the School Library Association of New South Wales International Speaker Series. \n— \nJoin Barbara Stripling on a journey to re-imagine inquiry-based teaching and learning through the school library.  In this workshop\, you will discover the reasons to move from a research process to an inquiry process\, the foundations of the Stripling Model of Inquiry\, and the merit of a REACTS taxonomy of creative and authentic assessment products. We will also explore the value of a comprehensive K-12 information fluency continuum that articulates Anchor Standards (Inquiry and Design Thinking\, Multiple Literacies\, Social and Civic Responsibility\, and Personal Growth and Agency) and frames the development of students as information-fluent learners. \nWe will take a deep dive into the priority skills of information fluency using the Empire State Information Fluency Continuum’s (ESIFC) scope and sequence\, and discover the power of graphic organizers to guide students as they learn new inquiry skills.  Finally\, you will be invited to start your own re-imagination journey by glimpsing Stripling’s newest areas of investigation and having an opportunity to develop your own practice in small-group collaboration with colleagues.

SUMMARY:SLANSW | Inquiry Learning and the Teacher Librarian - the ideal and the reality
DESCRIPTION:FOSIL Group member Lee FitzGerald will be presenting Inquiry Learning and the Teacher Librarian – the ideal and the reality on 25 May from 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm (UTC+10:00) as part of the School Library Association of New South Wales Professional Learning Programme. \nFOSIL Group Member Darryl Toerien will be contributing Ten Provocations to Inquiry to Lee’s presentation. \n— \nLee FitzGerald believes that “getting real about inquiry learning” means sitting it alongside everything else that Teacher Librarians do as far as teaching and learning is concerned. TLs are responsible for so much\, with their big focus on reading and literacy as well as programs like makerspaces and digital citizenship.  This makes it incredibly difficult to implement and sustain an inquiry learning program in their school. \nIn this online meetup\, Lee will consider how TLs are dealing with this – is there a need to do less in our role; is there a need to prove that we have achieved learning outcomes through our efforts;  how do people prioritise the many aspects of the role\, so that there is still scope for inquiry learning?   \nAnd behind that\, the question – why\, if we are the essential beacons of literacy and information literacy\, is the role continuously under threat?  Lee will be sharing some insights from Darryl Toerien\, whose warning\, “the hour for school libraries is late“\, is a call to action for all of us.

SUMMARY:CILIP SLG | Shaping Their Futures
DESCRIPTION:FOSIL Group members Darryl Toerien\, Lee FitzGerald and Olga Nesi will be delivering a keynote address at the School Libraries Group Virtual National Conference 2021 – Shaping Their Futures. \n— \nReading and the information-to-knowledge learning process \nBalzac declared that the world belonged to him because he understood it. Understanding is not possible without knowledge\, and knowledge is constructed from information. Some of our information about the world comes to us directly from experience. However\, most of our information about the world\, especially in the case of school\, comes to us indirectly from what we read in the broadest possible sense of the term (or are told)\, and this is not limited to informational texts. This learning process of constructing knowledge and understanding from information\, which is heavily dependent on reading\, presents us with an opportunity – in that\, if anything\, we know something about reading – and a challenge – in that we need to broaden and deepen our understanding of the integral role of reading\, and ourselves\, in this learning process. \nFollowing a brief introduction by Darryl Toerien\, Head of Library at Oakham School and originator of the FOSIL Group\, he will be joined by two of his colleagues from the FOSIL Group\, Lee FitzGerald and Olga Nesi. \nLee is Adjunct Lecturer in Teacher Librarianship in the School of Information Studies of the Faculty of Education at Charles Sturt University\, and Editor of ACCESS\, the Journal of the Australian School Library Association. Lee will talk about arousing curiosity and empathy through fiction in the early stages of the inquiry learning process\, as well as the need for intervention deep in the inquiry learning process when reading becomes more detailed and complex\, which she will do from the perspective of Guided Inquiry Design (Carol Kuhlthau\, Leslie Maniotes and Ann Caspari). \nOlga is an award-winning School Librarian in the New York City Department of Education at Edward B. Shallow Junior High School. Olga will talk about questioning the text as it drives\, deepens\, and personalizes the inquiry experience as well as the teaching strategies\, including the use of graphic organisers\, that enable students to read deeply and develop new understandings through the inquiry learning process\, which she will do from the perspective of the Empire State Information Fluency Continuum (Barbara Stripling).

SUMMARY:The Day | Real-World Learning Live!
DESCRIPTION:FOSIL Group members Darryl Toerien and Barbara Stripling will be running a workshop at Real-World Learning Live!\, a four-day digital event presented by The Day. \n— \nThoughtful REACTionS to The Day: Framing Inquiry-based Learning \nThe widely influential Brainstorms and blueprints : teaching library research as a thinking process by Barbara Stripling and Judy Pitts\, published in 1988\, introduced their Taxonomy of Thoughtful Research (p. 3) and REACTS Taxonomy of Thoughtful Reactions to Research (pp. 9-10). The crucial insight of Brainstorms and blueprints is that if classroom- and library-based teachers “accept the importance of students’ thinking during research\, [which students do not automatically do]\, then they must also accept the responsibility for teaching thinking skills” (p. 19). This\, in turn\, requires a “thinking frame for research\, which is the research process” (p. 19). This treatment of the research process\, in turn\, laid the foundation for the development of Barbara’s highly influential model of the inquiry process (2003) and underlying framework of inquiry learning skills (2009\, 2019)\, which FOSIL is based on. \nFrom the perspective of FOSIL\, which stands for Framework Of Skills for Inquiry Learning\, and which was developed by Darryl Toerien in 2011\, articles from The Day always lent themselves to thoughtful inquiry\, being “news to open minds” presented thought-provoking way – the most highly-developed example of this being the Year 7 English Inquiry – Science Fictional Writing in the FOSIL Group Forums. \nSome months ago Darryl was invited by Richard Addis to reflect on how the format of The Day articles might lend itself even more to an inquiry-based approach to learning across the curriculum. This period of reflection\, and discussion with Barbara\, produced two insights. The first\, and more obvious\, insight was that the steps to discovery ought to reflect the stages in the inquiry process – in this case FOSIL. The second insight\, which grew out of the first\, was that the Six steps to discovery\, if formulated carefully\, could\, in the process of a well-designed inquiry\, also serve to step students through the six levels of the REACTS Taxonomies. \nThis workshop will consist of two parts. Firstly\, Darryl will share reflections on the new format of The Day articles as they relate to the inquiry process and the REACTS Taxonomies. Then\, Barbara will imagine two very different teaching scenarios based around The Day\, one in which severe time constraints limit inquiry to the article under discussion\, and one in which more generous time constraints extend inquiry well beyond the article under discussion.

SUMMARY:ASLA in partnership with SLASA | Keys to Learning
DESCRIPTION:FOSIL Group member Elizabeth Hutchinson will be delivering the opening keynote address at the Australian School Library Association 2021 Virtual National Conference – Keys to Learning – held in partnership with the School Library Association of South Australia. \n— \nThinking and Acting in a Global Village: A Story in Three Parts \nThe IFLA/UNESCO School Library Manifesto declares that “school library is integral to the educational process”. This\, however\, is not the day-to-day experience of many\, if not most\, school librarians around the world\, or their classroom colleagues. There are many and varied reasons for this\, which the Manifesto addresses in principle. The IFLA School Library Guidelines\, which translate the principles of the Manifesto into practical terms\, describe the conditions necessary for the school library to be integral to the educational process\, key to which is a well-trained and highly motivated staff in sufficient numbers – professional and paraprofessional – according to the size of the school and its unique needs. Appropriate library staffing is\, then\, essential for an effective pedagogical program that frames learning through an inquiry process\, such as FOSIL\, which is based on the work of Dr Barbara Stripling as reflected in the Empire State Information Fluency Continuum. FOSIL\, then\, is both a model of the inquiry process and a means for collaboratively structuring teaching around a framework/ continuum of the literacy\, inquiry\, critical thinking\, and technology skills that students must develop at each phase of the inquiry process over their years of school and in the context of subject/ content area learning. This session explores the convergence of the IFLA School Library Guidelines and FOSIL in the Great School Libraries campaign\, a joint initiative of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP)\, CILIP’s School Libraries Group and the School Library Association. \n

DESCRIPTION:FOSIL Group member Elizabeth Hutchinson will be presenting at the UKEdChat 2021 Online Conference. \n— \nThe academic value of the school library in inquiry learning \nInquiry learning empowers students to become independent learners and critical thinkers. Collaboration between the school librarian and teachers not only provides students with access to quality resources but also introduces them to the set of skills needed to engage with the world beyond school. I will discuss how the process of inquiry supports students to develop self-confidence\, voice and agency and how an inquiry framework enables students to learn these skills throughout their time at school.

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: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
