School & Learning Resources

IDEA Public Schools has transformed our College Prep libraries into Reading and Research Centers (RRCs). These spaces will ensure that students are not only exposed to great literature, but also taught effective research techniques and skills that will assist them in being successful in middle school, high school and throughout their college years. The core of the RRC program is to shape lifelong learners. As lifelong learners, our students are information literate, skilled at using the growing array of available information and producing information in a variety of formats. Our RRC staff members are essential to a strong RRC program. They are valued partners in student learning who play a variety of roles—as teachers/collaborators, curricular/instructional partners, information specialists, and program managers contributing to and drawing from the entire learning community.
