Students report they feel better prepared for doing research papers in college if they have a consistent, measured approach to conducting research throughout their middle and high school years. As a grade 7-12 school librarian, in partnership with my social studies department, find out how we designed and implemented our research boot camp. Using a combination of Google Apps for Education, databases provided through the Massachusetts State Library System, websites, co-planning with classroom teachers, librarian classroom instruction and monitoring, you can create a boot camp in your building.
