As dual credit programs grow in popularity, creative solutions are needed to connect high school students with university academic support services. At Nevada State University, we have developed an innovative professional development program designed to empower dual credit instructors with tools and support to craft research assignments and engage students with library resources. This approach offers a sustainable way for librarians to assist instructors with developing information literacy learning opportunities customized for their classes.
Participants will:
- Understand the role of librarians in supporting dual credit instructors and students
- Identify stakeholders who can benefit from and contribute to dual credit support initiatives
- Apply strategies for working effectively with high school instructors to integrate university library services and resources into the dual credit curriculum
