Professional Learning for Teachers/Staff

Deepen your understanding of the changes/shifts in thinking that are required in order to support 21st century learning for your students. Rich dialogue will be shared in a collaborative atmosphere around the following four shifts: • Libraries: From Place to Function • Utilizing Technology for Better Customer Care • Ensuring Equality Online • Democracy and Learning Audience: Teacher librarians and library staff LRS0097-01
