Description:
The Reimagining School Readiness Toolkit is a suite of
research-backed resources created for library staff to help families
prepare children ages 0 to 8 for success in school and in life. Through
an interactive presentation with hands-on activities, this training
will introduce library staff to the research, practical implications,
and resources offered in the toolkit, which is available in its entirety
for free online. Participants will understand key findings from current
cognitive and developmental psychology research, reflect on the
implications of those findings for their daily work, and gain practical
ready-to-implement ideas for activities, as well as resources for staff
training and for parents/caregivers. You will benefit from this workshop
if you work with children ages 0 to 8 and their families and would like
to learn more about how to offer research-backed programming in your
library! 2 hr / 2 LEUs.
Registration is now closed. Due to space limitations, we kindly ask that only Indiana library staff register at this time.
