Description
With the vision that children can learn well and achieve excellence if provided with opportunity and challenge, Flack offers exciting ideas and strategies to identify and develop the unique talents found in each one. These strategies employ the library media specialist and teacher as allies in the talent development process, and they promote the concept of basic skills beyond literacy and numeracy into goal setting, time management, library research, creative and critical thinking, and problem solving. The activities are designed to promote literacy, integrated learning, diversity, and academic excellence. Grades K-12.
