As part of the
Growing Wisconsin Readers early literacy initiative, the Public Library
Development Team at the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction is
proud to announce a free, new professional development opportunity for
Wisconsin public youth services librarians. Thirty librarians will be
selected to participate in a pair of asynchronous online early literacy
courses taught by nationally renowned early literacy consultant Saroj
Ghoting. The first course will take place during Fall 2014 and the
second course will take place in Winter 2015. There is no cost to
participants to take part in the pair of courses, although the purchase
of two books is required.
Past
participants in these courses have commented positively about the ease
and flexibility of the online experience. Most importantly, participants
valued the direct connection between the coursework and their practice.
A digital badge and certificate will be awarded to participants upon
completion. Applicants must apply online by Tuesday, September 16, 2014.
Thirty applicants will be selected, preferably representing all 17
public library systems in Wisconsin. A MLS is not required for application.
