Library Media Specialists: Library Planning with Future Ready Tools

Description: Historically, long- range library plans, which are required through Wisconsin Administrative Code PI8.01(2)(h), have been integrated in district information and technology plans. With the changes in requirements and form of these plans, as well as staffing changes in districts, library plans have often been neglected in recent years. A longrange plan developed utilizing the Future Ready Librarian framework allows for library programs to effectively increase student achievement, provide equitable resources to all, and be a key collaborative part of district learning initiatives. A quality library program plan is a solid advocacy tool.

Goal of this Project: To increase the number of meaningful, integrated library and digital learning plans to support and improve programming in districts throughout the state.

Things to Bring:

• District Documents
• Collections analysis and statistics - print and digital
• Library program curriculum
• Library program technology
• Use of space
• Evidences of collaboration in your school, district, and community
• Evidence of leading professional learning
• Communication and advocacy efforts
• Year-End Reports and SLP/SPO Goals

Cancellation Policy: Registered participants will receive a refund if they cancel prior to 3 working days before an event, minus any material costs that have already been incurred. Cancellations must either be made on MyQuickReg or by emailing cancel@cesa2.org. Because of our commitment to the presenter and the food vendor, participants who cancel less than 3 working days prior to the event or who do not attend the event, will be billed the full fee. CESA 2 reserves the right to cancel any event. Registered participants will be notified via phone and email if a cancellation occurs and will receive a full refund. 

Inclement Weather Policy: Every effort will be made to hold an event. CESA 2 will notify participants via email as soon as possible if an event has been cancelled due to weather conditions.
