Book Choice for March 2020

Watch this TEDx talk and I will post questions in February... Think about how school librarians can support this process...

Time to get your brain back in gear for the new year. Questions out now! Please see comments below... This ISTE School Librarians / EveryLibrary webinar is designed to give you insights on what you can do to get started quickly on a campaign to safeguard your own position or budget or to get organized across a district when cuts are threatened. Learn about the right way to engage parents and other stakeholders in the face of crisis, and get oriented to how SaveSchoolLibrarians.org can be put to work in support. If there is a threat to your position or budget, or to other school libraries or librarians across your district, know how to mobilize people to help you fight back. You have to sign up to this free webinar before you can listen to it. https://www.everylibraryinstitute.org/free_webinar_fighting_back_when_cuts_are_threatened

I know we are all busy at this time of year so I wanted to give you a space to share something that you find useful for your own CPD. Do you regularly listen to a podcast? Do you have a favourite Youtube clip? Do you read a blog or have you recently read a great non-fiction book? If so please post below in the comments below and tell us why you find it so useful. I am going to share something that I have signed up to. It is called The Teaching Space and is run by Martine Ellis who has a teaching background. I love her podcasts because they give me an insight into teaching along with some very practical ideas I can use in my own profession. I have had some interesting conversations with her and was also interviewed by her a while back. The interview can be found here.
