Join us for an interactive training on the core concepts of Connected Learning from the Transforming Teen Services framework, presented by Stephanie Markham and Kenneth Roman.
Do you want to increase teen engagement at your library and enhance services to teens in your community? The NY State Library is coordinating a workshop opportunity for libraries to learn more about teen development and learning, as well as network with other library staff to share ideas and strategies for involving more diverse groups of teens in library programs.
This interactive workshop will introduce library staff to the core concepts of Connected Learning as part of the Transforming Teen Services framework. Individuals, small groups, and the entire group will explore the principles of Connected Learning and how to connect theory to practice. Connected learning explores the library's role at the intersection of teens' interests, relationships, and opportunities for the future. This is a participatory workshop, so attendees will be expected to participate in and contribute to discussions and readily engage in workshop activities.
Registration will be capped at 50 attendees. Light lunch and refreshments will be provided, but travel costs will be at the expense of attendees or their library. Mid York has ample free parking. CE certificates will be provided to workshop participants via email after the conclusion of the workshop.
