WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO MAKE YOUR WHOLE SCHOOL A PLACE WHERE STUDENTS WANT TO READ?
This course gives school library workers the tools to build a genuine, schoolwide love of reading through smart infrastructure, teacher partnerships, and activities that actually reach students. ABOUT THIS COURSEHelp your students fall in love with reading. Self-Paced Course Materials Getting students to read is a schoolwide challenge, and solving it takes a schoolwide approach. In this course, you'll explore how to create a culture of reading that lives beyond the library walls, with practical strategies for addressing the literacy crisis on a realistic budget. You'll learn how to bring teachers into the work as genuine partners, and build the programming, activities, and infrastructure that turn reluctant readers into lifelong ones. Because when a school reads together, everyone benefits, and the school librarian is uniquely positioned to make that happen. This is a fully self-paced, asynchronous course. You will have six months to move through the material. For more details, check out the What to Expect tab. Need an invoice or PO? Orders of $600 or greater can choose invoice at checkout.
