Standard One = Know
This standard is divided into
4 performance indicators.
The basic concepts of these performance
indicators are:

Standard One = Know
1. The information literate student

information.
Standard One = Know
Standard One = Know

an initial understanding of the topic.
Read up on the topic!
2. The information literate student
identifies a variety of types and
formats of potential sources for
information.
Standard One = Know

meeting this need.
Books! Articles! Virtual! Video! News!
