Presenters: Cathi Fuhrman and Vicki Reed Location: Room 106B** Students are consistent winners when all three key components of the triple crown are utilized…..the teacher, librarian and CFF coach. The Preakness, Belmont and Kentucky derby have nothing on this winning combination. The success of the CFF program at Hempfield High School is directly related to the communication between the CFF coaches and librarians as they work with classroom teachers to develop research projects with a technology component. The scaffolding that takes place develops the skill set for teachers and students in a collaborative environment. As a result, the library has become THE place to visit.
