AZ Reimagines School Readiness

This is a 2 part virtual training scheduled for Tuesday, August 24 and Thursday, August 26, 2021. 

Special Guest Presenter:

Saroj Ghoting, Early Childhood Literacy Consultant will connect the research to library practices for babies and toddlers with a 30 minute presentation at each session.

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 0 to 8 for success in school and in life.  

Participants in this training will:

  • Gain knowledge of key findings from current cognitive and developmental psychology research
  • Understand the practical implications of school readiness for children
  • Reflect on how research findings connect with current library programming
  • Become familiar with the resources offered in the Reimagining School Readiness Toolkit
  • Increase comfort in facilitating hands-on activities with children and their caregivers
  • Gain practical ready-to-implement ideas for activities to use with children and their caregivers
  • Gain resources for staff training and to disseminate to caregivers

This training is made possible through a grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services, and a partnership between the Arizona State Library, the Bay Area Discovery Museum, the California State Library, and the Pacific Library Partnership.
