Participants will also learn about unique children’s books from the past and ways in which the Library is making them more accessible. In addition, a specialist from the Library’s Young Readers Center will explain resources and non-fiction books that support the K-2 learner.

Hi,
I am unable to attend, but this sounds great. Would you ever consider running this as an online workshop?
Thank you,
Sharon
Hi Sharon, Thanks for the note! Right now, we don’t have plans for that, but we’ll keep the idea in mind.
Hi I am excited about this workshop. I have attended many workshops in the past and would love to participate in this meaningful workshop to improve hands-on-projects that my elementary students can be successful with and learn new information. I also want to know how to incorporate STEAM initiatives with this workshop. I am a member of the NGSS team.
thank you for considering my application

Do you have anything for Secondary Education? I would be interested in attending a workshop for secondary education. Please advise.
You may want to read about our Summer Teacher Institutes and consider applying for 2018. Also you can watch the recordings from last year’s online conference.
