English Teacher and Librarian to Present at National Conference

English Teacher Jared Friebel and Librarian (and honorary English Department Member) Myles Laffey have been working together for two years on developing broad and deep critical research skills for freshman at HC. Their work has influenced English 1 curriculum.

This year they applied to present at the AASL (American Association of School Librarians) National Conference, and were accepted!

Their proposal entitled Research Curriculum Gymnastics: Using TRAILS as a Springboard to a FLIP (Freshman Level Interest Project) will be presented at AASL’s 15th National Conference & Exhibition, October 27-30, 2011 in Minneapolis, MN.

Congratulations to Jared and Myles! And thank you for being teacher leaders in critical literacy at Hinsdale Central.

    Hello:

    I saw their presentation at AASL - it was very informative. We're planning to try the TRAILS assessment here, and I'd like to ask Jared and Myles some more questions. How might I contact them?
