English Teacher and Librarian Selected to Present at IATE Conference in the fall

Congratulations to English teacher Jared Friebel and Librarian Kerrin Riley on being accepted as speakers at the Illinois Association of Teachers of English annual conference to be held in Crystal Lake, Illinois on October 17^th and 18^th, 2014.    Their session “Reaching Beyond the Classroom to Teach Information Literacy” focuses on the inter-departmental work going on between Central's English Department and Library and Media Center, specifically about the two-year informational literacy curriculum and assessment developed collaboratively with the two departments and led by Jared and Kerrin.  These assessments are an objective measure of how students are learning to be smart consumers of digital information.  This is a great example of how teachers take on important curriculum projects that turn theory into practice at Hinsdale Central.
