The Teacher Education Working Group for the HAIL Project will focus on promoting information literacy components in Common Core Standards, including media specialists as a resource for implementation, to K-12 teachers and administrators.

During the 2012-13 academic year, they will:
 * Survey teacher education faculty and administrators to determine how information literacy standards are used in teacher preparation.
 * Survey academic librarians in institutions with teacher education programs to determine how information literacy instruction is used for teacher preparation.
 * Identify potential partners to help promote information literacy to practicing teachers, pre-service teachers, and teacher education faculty.
 * Research ways to create continuing education opportunities for practicing teachers/librarians to increase and update information literacy skills and knowledge (PGP points, offering graduate-level class on information literacy).
 * Encourage cross-curriculum projects between students in teacher education and library programs or have an LMS go in to talk to classes of students.
 * Compile helpful resources that beginning teachers can use to implement information literacy in their new classrooms.
