What do education librarians and faculty need from a companion document to the ACRL Framework? The EBSS Instruction for Educators Committee invites you to join colleagues to discuss how the new Education Companion Document to the Framework (a work in progress) could support your work with teacher education faculty and students. This workshop will give you a chance to discuss and provide feedback in small groups. Help shape the new document!
The session will be held from 2-3:30 pm Eastern, 1-2:30 pm Central, 12-1:30 pm Mountain, 11:00 am-12:30 pm Pacific Standard Times.
Discussion questions and links to the companion document will be sent to all registrants in a confirmation email two weeks before the event.
EBSS Instruction for Educators Committee
The EBSS IFE Committee is charged with providing “a forum for librarians interested in bibliographic instruction in education; identifying the issues and problems encountered by librarians serving schools, colleges, and departments of education in colleges and universities; and developing approaches and solutions to those problems.” The current membership of the committee plans to fulfill this charge by working to develop a replacement document for the Information Literacy Standards for Teacher Education (approved May, 2011). To do this, the committee plans to engage with the EBSS membership, as well as with the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education (approved January, 2016), in order to create a resource that reflects current practice.

How friendly/accessible is the language of the document for other librarians? For the faculty they work with?
What parts of the document will be the most useful? What is not as useful to you?
What parts of the document need more clarity?
Is the scope of this frame too narrow, or too broad, for how it needs to be used?
Are there other resources/materials/activities that you have used when teaching this frame?
Are there any missing elements to the document?
