History Unbound: Standards and Plans

Developed by the Stanford History Education Group (http://sheg.stanford.edu), Beyond the Bubble is the cornerstone of SHEG’s membership in the Library of Congress’s Teaching with Primary Sources Educational Consortium. We “go beyond the bubble” by offering easy-to-use assessments that capture students’ knowledge in action – rather than their recall of discrete facts. (From Beyond the Bubble: About us)

The Empire State Information Fluency Continuum provides a K-12 scaffolded framework for the instructional aspects of a school library program. The framework is based on three standards that form the basis for the skills and strategies that are essential for students to become independent readers and learners. The Empire State Information Fluency Continuum is endorsed by the School Library Systems Association of New York State and aligned to the Common Core Learning Standards.Libraries and librarians are a great resource for meeting the instructional expectations of the Common Core Learning Standards. The school librarian curates and instructs in the use of electronic databases and print and non-print materials. The school librarian also serves as an instructional leader in helping students navigate the inquiry process leading to the development of critical thinking skills and college and career readiness.
