The state is providing the materials for libraries for summer reading training this year. There will be 8 station based activities for attendees to self-guide and collaborate with other library staff members. Participants will proceed through the stations as small groups. If you find it helpful to use this time to collaborate with your teammates, that is welcome. If you prefer this group time to be used as an opportunity to network with other youth services staff in the district, that is also welcome. If the training is completed solo, please try to find time to share thoughts and ideas with colleagues. This will be your peer to peer training and idea sharing time. The more you come ready to share and collaborate the more everyone will walk away with. You will have 15 minutes at each station. Below is a list of the stations that will be available. Station 1 - Using the CSLP Manual
Station 2 - 10 Tips for a Successful Summer Learning Program (plus one more for your sanity)
Station 3 - Make Summer Learning Inclusive
Station 4 - Mind Games
Station 5 - Gross Motor Skills
