Submit to Nudging Toward Inquiry!

**To share this page with colleagues, please use the shortcut http://bit.ly/nudging . Thanks!**

In each issue of School Library Monthly, we run readers’ ideas for how to promote instructional change to support the inquiry approach of the AASL Standards for the 21st-Century Learner.

We’re looking for YOUR help to help us tackle issues like assessment, Common Core, inquiry, and some common research projects.  Take a look at our topic overviews below, and click on one (or more!) to share your thoughts. (We’ll link to the submission forms as they become available.)

Thanks for helping to make “Nudging” one of SLM’s more popular columns!

Best,

There’s just one more open topic for the 2011-2012 volume!

Submission Deadline: February 10

How is it possible to know that students have learned to the objectives outlined? How can the various elements of a project be weighed so a rubric or scoring system gives a fair assessment? Similarly, how do school librarians self-assess at the end of a project?
