Our First LIBinar on Library Standards

This morning we launched our first BVSD LIBinar! LIBinars are the library webinars hosted by BVSD teacher librarians and friends.

Today's LIBinar host was BVSD library coordinator Nannette McMurtry. Her presentation, What Are My Standards?, was a discussion of how library standards are embedded in the curriculum. She shared some great resources about national, state, and local standards, and about what the teacher librarian's role is in supporting standards.

Takeaways

We had fun and learned a lot during this morning's event, which will hopefully make it easier for you to participate in our live broadcasts in the future. Our main takeaway was that instead of just inviting teacher librarians through Google Plus, we will be sending you a calendar invite with the link to join the LIBinar. We will also post that link to this blog. By getting out the word in multiple ways, we hope to have more of you join us during the live broadcast so that you can participate in real time.

Next LIBinar

Our next LIBinar will be on Thursday, October 29 at 4:00 pm. Barb Miller from Manhattan Middle will be talking about developing an LGBTQ collection for the middle school library. She has many helpful resources and powerful stories to share—I hope you will be able to join us for the live broadcast! You will be receiving a calendar invite soon with the link to join.
