[PShumaker at library.ohio.gov]

Registration<https://events.library.ohio.gov/event/14257082> is open now for 2025 Reimagining School Readiness Workshop Spring workshop which will be held on April 30, 2025 at the State Library of Ohio.

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."
