BHS Library Curriculum

BHS Library CurriculumThe BHS library program and resources provide the link between the classroom and lifelong learning. The library program offers direct instruction to students, and collaborative and reference services to teachers and administrators. For students, the program follows two carefully aligned threads: information and technology skills, and literature appreciation. The program is based on access to a large collection of carefully selected resources, constantly updated technology skills, and understanding of the curriculum and the diverse strengths and need or our students. 

BHS library instruction: 
  • encourages individuals to develop their imagination, creativity, and independence through exploration and active learning, using a variety of material
  • focuses on thinking and critical reasoning skills, as well as digital literacy 
  • involves literature and information in print, media, and electronic formats 
  • provides experiences in reading, listening, viewing and creating through information technology 

The complete BHS Library/Information Literacy Syllabus can be found here.
