Information Literacy

Students will demonstrate their ability to think critically about information by:

• Approaching content with self-awareness of their own biases and worldview
• Identifying the qualities of information that affect its value, including currency, relevance, authority, point of view, bias, and use of evidence
• Understanding the context of sources by applying knowledge about the time and culture in which they were created; the author or creator; the format, genre, and publication process
• Recognizing how power is manifested through information to elevate and marginalize different perspectives
• Choosing relevant information sources to support the research question
