Our school’s philosophy endorses a balanced literacy based program that is integrated into the New Haven School District’s curriculum framework, the National and Connecticut State standards, and the curriculum of Betsy Ross Arts Magnet School. Our school’s approach to information problem solving and research strategies is based upon the Big 6™ model. The Big6™ is an information literacy curriculum, an information problem-solving process, and a set of skills that provide a strategy for effectively and efficiently meeting information needs. Developed by Michael Eisenberg and Bob Berkowitz, it can be used whenever students are in a situation, academic or personal, which requires information to solve a problem, make a decision or complete a task. |
