13 Spaces Remaining! Register soon!

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

The Reimagining School Readiness Toolkit is a suite of research-backed resources created for library staff to help families prepare children ages birth to 8 years for success in school and in life.
Previous attendee feedback: "Love the networking and sharing along with being able to try the activities."

Through an interactive presentation with hands-on activities, this training will introduce library staff to the research, practical implications, and resources offered in the toolkit. Library staff who work with children from ages 0 - 8 and their families will benefit most from this training. The workshop will be in-person at the State Library of Ohio.

"Fun to collaborate with colleagues!"

The workshop topics include:

  *   key findings from current cognitive and developmental psychology research
  *   the implications of those findings for library staff's daily work
  *   practical ready-to-implement ideas for activities
  *   resources for staff training and for parents/caregivers

"...the hands-on activities were fun, loved the breakout sessions and chance to chat."
