Mr. Huskisson has been an educator for the past fifteen years. He has been
with PEC since its inception in 1997, and has taught music, band, second
grade, and fourth grade. This is his sixth year teaching library/information
literacy.
The mission of the Library Media Program is to enhance student achievement by
ensuring that all students are competent users of ideas and information, and
by encouraging a lifelong interest in reading.
The Library Media Curriculum is designed to teach students how to identify,
locate, organize, and use information. In the primary grades (K-2), children
learn how to find a particular book on the shelf and how to find an answer to
a question by using an appropriate resource. Students learn to use the
OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog). In third and fourth grades children
learn how to develop search strategies to meet information needs. Searching
skills are sharpened as they use various research books and the Internet,
determining which resources will answer their needs the most efficiently and
accurately.
