This interactive workshop explores how Students as Partners (SaP) pedagogy (Cook-Sather et al., 2014) can transform information literacy (IL) instruction, drawing on a conceptual model integrating SaP with the Framework for Information Literacy (LeGrand, 2025). The facilitators will share experiences infusing student-instructor partnership in their teaching (Fundator et al., 2024) and guide attendees through practical design exercises to engage students' knowledge and goals within the Frames. Reimagine instruction with asset-based, relational language and design learning for transformative action. Leave with strategies to co-create meaningful IL learning experiences with students, promoting shared responsibility and agency in the classroom and beyond.
Participants will: 1. Identify instructor-centered assumptions in the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy. 2. Apply Students as Partners principles to reframe information literacy instruction using relational, asset-based language. 3. Design a partnership-oriented IL activity or lesson plan that incorporates student agency and transformative action.
