The Information Fluency Framework and the Primary Library Setting
Lynette will be guiding us through the process of integrating the IFF into our primary library programmes. She has been helping teacher librarians throughout the Maitland Newcastle Catholic Diocese implement and blend the IFF with the current Library Learning Path model (adopted by many catholic primary schools) to create an exciting library framework that showcases the pedagogy in our school libraries. This will be a hands on session where those using the IFF will share their experiences and examples, and where we will work together to create programmes suitable for our own schools.
