For Administrators: How to Support the Framework
Through reading the Framework document and discussing it with your institutions’ librarians, you can begin to focus on the best mechanisms to implement the Framework in your institution. As an administrator, you can take the following approaches:
- Host or encourage a series of campus conversations about how the institution can incorporate the Framework into student learning outcomes and supporting curriculum
- Provide the resources to enhance faculty expertise and opportunities for understanding and incorporating the Framework into the curriculum
- Encourage committees working on planning documents related to teaching and learning (at the department, program, and institutional levels) to include concepts from the Framework in their work
- Provide resources to support a meaningful assessment of information literacy of students at various levels at your institution
- Promote partnerships between faculty, librarians, instructional designers, and others to develop meaningful ways for students to become content creators, especially in their disciplines
