The Recording and Resources Are Here From Our Follett Software Webinar, Co Planning for Impact. How Library-Curriculum Partnerships Move the Achievement Needle.

 

Last week, Follett Software hosted our new webinar, Co-Planning for Impact. How Library-Curriculum Partnerships Move the Achievement Needle. 

As shared from the webinar invite, 

What if you could clearly show how your library program advances curriculum and student achievement—without adding one more “extra” initiative to your plate?

In this session, award-winning teacher-librarian Shannon McClintock Miller will share practical ways to design library-led experiences that plug directly into existing units and priorities, so your work is seen as instructionally essential.

What you’ll learn:

Strategies to align your library program with curriculum goals and standards

Concrete approaches for curating collections that directly support classroom learning

Ways to integrate inquiry, choice reading, book clubs, and research opportunities to boost engagement learning for stronger comprehension and achievement.

Simple techniques for capturing evidence of impact, from usage analytics, student artifacts, and newsletter highlights.

Join us to get practical workflows, real examples, and ready-to-use ideas that elevate your library’s role in teaching and learning—and make that impact visible to decision-makers.

This session is a must-attend for K–12 school librarians seeking to strengthen their instructional role by leveraging their work, library program, and resources to support student engagement and achievement.

A New Follett Titlewave Tip....Check Out The NEW Barcode Reader To Scan Books & Add To Your Lists Super Easy and Fast!

 

I have a new Follett Titlewave Tip for you, friends! 

There is a new barcode reader that will scan the bar codes on books you'd like to view and add to your Follett Titlewave lists. 

I love pulling up Titlewave on my phone and using the barcode reader. It's so handy when I am looking at books I might want to add to our library.  I used it with some advanced reader copies last week, and at a book shop in Anchorage, Alaska this week.  
After I scanned the barcode, it popped up in Titlewave and I added it to my February Book List.  It's a wonderful time saver and so handy.  

Check it out today, and if you need a FREE Titlewave account, grab it here.
