Reimagining School Readiness

Reimagining School Readiness

Do you wonder what research really says about how to support school readiness?

The Reimagining School Readiness Toolkit is a suite of research-backed activities, this training will introduce library staff to help families prepare children ages 0 to 8 for success in school and in life. Through an interactive online presentation, 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 trainings 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!

Recording & Slides: This program is being recorded and will be made available along with the slides on the Children's Services Libguides page.

Who should come? Perfect for any Children’s Services Staff who work with children ages 0-8 and their families.
