Join Us This Saturday From 11-1pm EST For The NEW Future Ready Librarian Summit, Thinking Critically About Media and News Literacy

 

On Saturday, October 16, we hope you join us for the Future Ready Librarians® Summit from 11:00am-1:00pm EST as we focus on...
...Thinking Critically About Media and News Literacy.  

During our time together, we will reflect and collaborate around the following questions: 

  • How has the conversation about information and media literacy evolved?
  • What are current and emerging best practices for teaching media literacy?
  • What roles can teacher librarians and school libraries play in leading media literacy?
In addition to my partner, Mark Ray, and I as facilitators during this amazing day, we will welcome Britten Follett as she opens our day with a little inspiration and news; 
Jennifer Casa-Todd, teacher librarian and author of Social LEADia and 
Raising Digital Leaders
...and 𝚂𝚑𝚊𝚎𝚕𝚢𝚗𝚗 𝙵𝚊𝚛𝚗𝚜𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚝𝚑, Director of Educator Network Expansion at News Literacy Project.

Future Ready Librarians® Summits are FREE, live, virtual, interactive, high-quality professional learning experiences for librarians interested in learning, growing, and expanding their professional practice through collaboration and networking with like-minded colleagues from across the country. Recognizing the profound shifts in learning and teaching occurring in real time, these interactive online events will help librarians ground their practice in the research-based Future Ready Librarians Framework and define new ways they can lead, teach, and support learning in their schools.

Leveraging the active Future Ready Librarians community, the live summits are designed around authentic problems of practice identified by librarians. This fall, we will focus on two topics that represent new opportunities for leadership by Future Ready Librarians.

You can register for this event on Saturday here, friends.  

We hope to see you all there and can't wait to grow our practice and knowledge around media and news literacy, Future Ready Librarians and more.
