Media partners: Library and School in Warendorf

The Warendorf City Library  actively attends to information literacy training, considered as a relevant task.
The importance of reading literacy, media literacy and information literacy is highly stressed, because they are basic qualifications in the information society.
All these literacies are strictly connected each other, so that within the project Media partners Library and School: reading and information literacy NRW their integrated development has been studied, organised and achieved in order to create media literate students.

The City Library and 11 schools of all forms – 4 primary, 1 special, 2 main, 2 technical, 2 high schools – participate in the project.
Both institutions – school and library – pursue children’s and young people’s education, each with own specific tasks and objectives.

A spiral curriculum, fruit of this collaboration, has been prepared and later polished up: it originally comprised the classes from 1. to 6., then has been developed up to the class 8.
Teaching units, one founded on the other, have been developed in order to guide the classes (primary step) and to bring teaching activities in the library (secondary step).
For each teaching unit a development plan has been prepared together with supplementing materials (media boxes, glossary, research protocols, citation aids etc.)

Information literacy training: core issues of the spiral curriculum

Rich and detailed information about the spiral curriculum are available online in German only.
