Cooperative Educational Service Agency

The Cooperative Educational Service Agency (CESA) will partner with the Greenwood, New Auburn, and Stanley-Boyd school districts in rural Wisconsin to improve the quality of and access to information literacy instruction for high school students. School librarians from each of the three districts will work with the CESA media director to develop digital resources (text, video, and audio) for teaching information literacy skills. Both students and teachers will have access to these resources. CESA will publish the participants’ final products on the open source textbook platform ck-12 Flexbook. The project team will evaluate the potential of these improved resources for helping students acquire the 21st-century skills necessary to be successful in college and the workplace.
