Free Library Continuing Education Events for August compiled by Jamie
Markus, Wyoming State Library. *All events are listed in MT time.*
*PROGRAM ABSTRACTS & LOGIN INFORMATION:*
Tuesday, Aug. 4 (10-11 a.m.)
*The kids are not all white (Washington State Library)*
Some 43% of Millennial adults are non-white and the U.S. Census Bureau
projects that the full U.S. population will be majority non-white around
2043. Kidlit publishers do not reflect these population dynamics. Do
library shelves and programs? All young readers need mirrors and windows
that both reflect and open to the world around them. Library materials
and programs are important in helping children make cross-cultural
connections and developing skills necessary to function in a pluralistic
society. Resources are readily available for librarians to meet these needs.

*Tips and Tricks for Successful Negotiation (Educause)*

high-stakes issues often requires a high degree of emotional
intelligence, self-awareness, and preparation in order to achieve
satisfactory results. The presenters will share lessons learned from
their manifold negotiation experiences over the years, with an emphasis
on the key emotional intelligence skills everyone should focus on
mastering, as well as tips on becoming successful negotiators. The
lessons they have learned from negotiating will benefit attendees

*Building More Respectful Dialogue in Meetings (4Good)*
Dialogue builds more insightful and better supported decisions in
meetings. Effective dialogue requires a respectful exchange of views.
But this can be difficult when the issue is complex and there are
different stakes in its resolution. Resorting to meeting norms or asking
people to behave in a certain way is seldom enough. But, you can
structure your meeting to make a productive, respectful dialogue
possible. In this webinar you will learn: how to enable all to be heard
while staying on time; how to lead a productive, not defensive
discussion on a proposal; how to hear all sides of an issue and build a
way forward; and how to build alignment on decisions and avoid “sides.”

*Family Workshops Work! Hosting Literacy Workshops for Families of
Preschoolers (Early Childhood Investigations)*
Without a doubt, children’s experiences during the preschool years
affect their later language and literacy skills and achievement.
High-quality early childhood education programs are one way in which we
support development during these years, but family interactions and home
environments also play a crucial role. In this presentation, Kathryn
Roberts and Nell Duke, co-authors with Gail Jordan of Engaging Families
in Children’s Literacy Development: A Complete Workshop Series and
language and literacy education faculty at Wayne State University and
The University of Michigan, will explore not only the “why” and “what”
of family literacy workshops, but also practical tips for making them
work for families. Specifically, participants will have opportunities to
learn about six constructs of literacy that are key to later literacy
success, specific ways in which all families can integrate those
constructs into their daily routines, and (most importantly) how to plan
for workshops that will be engaging and well-attended.

Websites for Teaching & Learning committee selects and honors websites,
tools, and resources of exceptional value to inquiry-based teaching and
learning as embodied in the American Association of School Librarians'
Standards for the 21st-Century Learner. From this year’s recipients,
Lucy and Heather hand-picked a selection of great sites just for

can be used and share examples from the field.
