Thank you Darryl and Elizabeth for your replies and the leaflet. I would be very interested in the webinars by the way.
I am going to tell you more about my background. I may have mentioned that I previously worked as Teaching Assistant and School Librarian in a primary school. A couple of years ago I was very interested in introducing information literacy in the primary school; I did some homework, made a lot of enquities; someone who was a school librarian in Guernsey emailed me all the “Lesson Ideas and Support from your SLS Librarian” for years 1 to 6. Unfortunately I can’t remember who sent them to me as I have the saved documents but cannot find the emails. At about the same time I had downloaded a six page document entitled “Information Literacy Framework for Primary Schools (CWICER)”. Lesson ideas seemed to be based on the CWICER document but with some changes and additional information. So in a sense I have come full circle by finding this Forum…
Anyway, unfortunately my primary school was too small and had simply no capacity to support such a project. In January I started a new job in a secondary school library and while I’m home because of COVID, the library line manager asked me to consider how we could introduce information literacy.
Initially I had “homed in” on PLUS. I had found articles and examples relating to its adoption at Ripon Grammar School and I thought I would be able to run some workshops based on that.
Now of course I have discovered FOSIL and I have had to reconsider some plans I had begun to make;
so now you know about my journey which has only just begun.
Thank you for your help!
