• Demonstrating Curiosity and Open-mindedness

SLO

Sedgwick students participate in Inquiry Projects throughout the year which includes a collaboration between the classroom teacher and the library media specialists. This year, in addition to information literacy skills, I will be working with students on developing the CASEL SEL skills of demonstrating curiosity and open-mindedness. I will teach strategies for wondering, questioning, and finding sources and information to satisfy their academic and personal curiosity. I will also teach students how to practice open-mindedness by having them explore their topics from multiple perspectives.

-Students will demonstrate personal and academic curiosity in all inquiry projects.

This will be measured throughout the year by formal and informal assessments.

-Students will demonstrate open-mindedness by looking at multiple perspectives during their inquiry.

This will be measured throughout the year by formal and informal assessments.
