Barbara, you are welcome.
Why all the commotion over these? I don't remember anything said about the
others. Is the answer because the others were included in IP publication
and not a separate document? Pardon me if this has been discussed.
I believe that most SLMS don't even venture beyond their state information
curriculum / scope & sequence ( IF there are any). If not, then local
school districts use their state's curriculum and standards to create their
own information curriculum / scope & sequence. Yes, the national I L
standards find their way onto the local information skills curriculums and
scope and sequences.
I belive the 21st century standards and the ISTE technology standards
would better serve us if they were merged. ( if I am wrong then forgive me)
Too many standards out there. Let's not forget each content area has its own
national standards. Standards overload ! WHich do we use? which
objective number is listed in lesson plans? Principals don't have a clue to
national standards and probably don't care. Yes, there is always a teaching
moment for administrators. As long as we are teaching/instructing/covering
the state objectives & standards, national standard objectives and numbers
are not going to make too much impact to those who "sign the checks"!
With states having their own information skills curriculum / scope &
sequence made from the state's content area curriculum, I really question
the need for national standards. That may not set well with some readers. I
agree national standards do lay the groundwork and background for state &
local SLMS instruction.
