[CPSLibraries] Next Second Life Mtg - Jon Mueller - Mar 19

[Perez, Lisa E]

Dear Librarians:

 

Our next AASL-ISTE SIGMS virtual learning community meeting will be on
Thursday, March 19th at 7pm in Second Life.  This month's guest
facilitator is Jon Mueller.  Jon is the author of the book "Assessing
Critical Skills" (Linworth Publishing) and is a nationally-recognized
expert in skill development and assessment.  See his website - the
Authentic Assessment Website at
http://jonathan.mueller.faculty.noctrl.edu/toolbox.  This meeting will
focus on developing strategies, guidelines, and examples to help
students improve critical skills.  Building on implementation of the new
AASL standards, attendees will discuss how to effectively assess
students' critical skills.  Don't miss this opportunity to connect with
your colleagues to share ideas on this important concept!

 

We will meet on the main stage of the ALA Island at
http://slurl.com/secondlife/ALA%20Island/127/101/29.  For information
about logging into Second Life, see
http://blogs.cuip.net/dlis/attend-our-librarian-meetings. 

About Jon's book - Reading this well-researched, practical book on
assessing critical skills and applying the author's strategies will
allow the library media specialist to not only teach the standards but
to also teach students to improve their critical skills. 

*        Learn the process and value of designing assessment that
matches the critical skills being taught in order to improve student
performance. 

*        Find a clear blueprint for the strategies, guidelines, and
examples the LMS will need to immediately help students improve critical
skills. 

*        Understand the importance of teaching and assessing essential
skills and their connection to significantly improved student
achievement.

At the meeting, we will raffle off one copy of Jon's book and one annual
subscription to the magazine Library Media Connection Monthly.

Thanks,
