**Curriculum Connections in the Elementary Library** provides a holistic plan for library instruction. CPS libraries play an important role in addressing Common Core State Standards; this program promotes rigorous, standards-based instruction. Each unit is designed to occur over several library periods. Learning activities complement class instruction, are research-based, and aligned to the CPS curriculum. They support the development of information literacy and technology skills. They encourage personalized instruction at various levels and are not dependent on resources at a particular school. All materials are free and readily accessible to be used with a minimum of one newer Internet-connected computer and multimedia projector. Units include recommended assessments to monitor student growth. Literacy and library activities are, also, included in the plan. When needed, professional development training is built into module. These units are designed to occur during a 60-minute library period, but can be adapted to meet the needs of individual schools. Currently, the Curriculum Connections program addresses the Social Sciences 3.0 Framework. Other subject areas are expected to be added in the future. .
