@NCSLMA Regional PD Highlights

After a wonderful day together on March 9th, NCSLMA's spring Piedmont West Regional Professional development is complete and forty media coordinator's from several neighboring counties received some fantastic first-hand training while exploring @AASL's new standards for learners!  The collaboration, idea sharing, brainstorming and creating was contagious, and I must say I was inspired by the school librarians who attended.  Thanks to Jenny Umbarger for leading our training and for the staff at the Linda Rader Staff Development Center in Gaston County who hosted us!  I am looking forward to the next opportunity to learn alongside these school librarians who impact student learning every day!

Have a great week!

@NCSLMA - Bringing Innovative PD to School Librarians Across NC!

As this first week of March comes to a close, I am looking forward to a great day of discovery, learning and sharing information to better serve students in school libraries!  This spring, NCSLMA regional directors and board members are bringing timely professional development sessions to our regions by offering PD based on the American Association of School Libraries' new National School Library Standards.  

I will definitely post later with highlights, thoughts and pictures from the session!   In the meantime, visit www.ncslma.org for information about this wonderful organization and how YOU can get involved.  Additionally, mark your calendar for this fall's NCSLMA annual conference, October 3 - 5, in Winston-Salem, NC!
