IMSA 21CIF Portal Adds New Guide: How to Create a 21CIF Program at Your School 2. 21CIF Fall Conference Appearances 3. New Portal Feature: Tip of the Week and Training Materials -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. IMSA 21CIF Portal Adds New Guide: How to Create a 21CIF Program at Your School This HOWTO guide has been written to address requests from teachers and librarians who have wondered about how to put a program together for their school to share their 21CIF skills and resources. In the site you will see some recommended steps and specific examples of well-established programs. There are examples of lesson plans, ideas, web sites; other resources will continue to be added to in the future. Our goal is to show a complete program with examples of the component parts. Current program examples are provide by Dr. Elaine Buch, Addison Trail High School, Chris Balsano, Downers Grove High School, and Jane Sharka and Tom Bohdan, both of Naperville Central High School. We know that every school and every situation is different and think of these steps as an outline. Individual components may or may not apply to your situation. We hope that this will give you a good start, a place to see live examples and where you can ask questions of those who have already blazed this trail.
