Information skills instruction is a fundamental and vital part of K-12 education in the 21st century. The Handy 5 is an effective model for planning, teaching, and assessing information skills instruction. If we truly believe that all students can learn and that the role of teachers and library media specialists is to enhance learning, new ways of structuring the learning process must include systematic and frequent assessment throughout the learning process. This five-step model provides a framework for planning learning activities to accommodate frequent and systematic evaluation for the benefit of the students' success. The purpose of Part 1 explains the Handy 5. Part 2 outlines the theoretical background and presents the research that validated the model. Finally, Part 3 provides useful examples of the model's implementation. All royalties go to the Kansas Association of School Librarians

Information skills instruction is a fundamental and vital part of K-12 education in the 21st century.

This second edition offers a clear explanation of the model and provides numerous examples of units that have been used successfully and are adaptable for use in your school. This five-step model provides a framework for planning learning activities to accommodate frequent and systematic evaluation for the benefit of all students' success.

Underneath the surface of a small Central Texas town, where people know each other and adhere to the old values of hard work and neighborliness, a dark secret life flows silently. People congregate at an old-time country store and at their churches, but are not immune to the modern complications of divorce and remarriage-and murder. Carla, a petite pretty girl, is one of three sisters in a poor but respectable family. Unlike her passionate, acting-out younger sister, she never gives her parents a moment's trouble. Nor is she like her self-sacrificing older sister, June. Carla harbors a strong work ethic, a fierce ambition, and a powerful sex drive-with a creative flair. Her high school sweetheart, Leroy, can never forget Carla, even after his dreams are shattered. And Ray, a big man with a big heart, succumbs to a shocking web of deceit. Jim, a man whose taciturn exterior hides his preoccupation with a personal tragedy, captains the Search and Rescue horse team, called to the small Central Texas town of Graylor to search for the body of a missing man. But Bill, the deputy sheriff in charge of the investigation, resents any outside interference. He is embroiled in the competing claims of his current and former wives, and his son Jeffrey seems headed in the wrong direction. How will all these lives intersect? How do ordinary people change when a brutal murder severs the ties of kinship, love, and loyalty? Set to the rhythms of nature-sowing, growing, harvesting-in a rural landscape that still retains a few wild places, the book poses the question: Is a sociopath born or made, is it nature or nurture-or a combination of the two?

A grieving American woman takes a trip into the far reaches of the Amazon Basin and experiences a mystical resolution. Paralyzed by a stroke, a Peruvian man reviews the arc of his life. Two women in 1980s Lima, caught in the vortex of the city and culture, dream of escape to the United States. In earthy and high-spirited ways, Central Texas characters struggle against the destruction of their land. A Hispanic woman teaches her husband a lesson. A black man from the backwoods of East Texas breaks through racism to become a corporate lawyer in New York City, only to be confronted with the sexism that destroys his marriage. A woman in retirement looks back at stories she wrote as a graduate student at the University of Texas, marveling at how the world has changed-or maybe not. From the jungles of the Amazon to New York City, from sprawling Lima besieged by terrorist groups to a Texas country store, these stories cover a diverse range of characters and locales, where the land and the culture shape lives and choices.
