WHY USE BIG6?

Here is a link to a collection of Mike Eisenberg’s PowerPoint Presentations about the Big6. Preview one or more of these presentations then show your administrator the power of Big6 approach to improve student performance.  Be sure to check the presentation titled the “Whole Enchilada”.  It includes examples from three state tests and strategies to help students improve academic performance across the curriculum.

Webinar sessions are perfect for a live, personally guided overview of the Big6 and Super3 strategies for K-12 information literacy skills.

Evaluation, the final step in the Big6 process, is one of the most important tasks for the college student. Many college students seem to have one focus for a paper, presentation, or speech. That one focus — and it is an important focus — is the grade.
. . . . (However) grades only give one view of whether the student did a good job on the information problem – an external view, and usually, that of the professor. It is equally important for students to judge their own work.
