Abstract/Summary:
Educational goals and objectives are evaluated to ensure that students are prepared to be successful to meet the economic challenges within an ever-changing global environment. Over the past decade the educational focus has shifted to equip students with 21st century skills. This qualitative case study examines how two enrichment teachers, a K-4 teacher librarian and a K-4 technology teacher, collaborated on a science unit to teach information literacy skills and technology skills to 72 first graders at an independent K-12 school. Through the use of interviews and anecdotal records, the study investigates how enrichment teachers use their collaboration to influence curriculum decisions.
