Show Notes:
In this episode, Amanda and Jessica kick off Part One of a three part series on the ACRL Framework! They discuss what makes the Framework challenging and their experiences with teaching and assessing the Frames.
Topics & Takeaways:
- The ACRL Framework is challenging because:
- Interconnected concepts that incorporate multiple instructional concepts like metacognition, constructivism, affective learning and backward design
- Elevated language that at times can seem like jargon
- It contains A LOT of content which makes organizing, teaching and assessing progression of learning difficult
- Teaching the Framework at the one-shot level can feel limiting, frustrating and difficult to assess due to the short time-frame, expectations of faculty and not knowing our students.
- However, there are strategies to developing effective one-shot Framework instruction that meets student needs.
- One way to integrate the Framework at a program level starts with mapping the knowledge practices and dispositions to beginner, intermediate and advanced levels as well as reviewing syllabi to match assignments to appropriate Frame skills.
- Various ideas about how to use the Framework in the classroom are discussed.
