Ready,Set,Plan: SLP and Beyond with Simple Tips

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Transitioning to new phase of life As in many things, looking to Marge who is forging the path Ginny Moore Kruse, former director of CCBC, “I’m retiring from my job, not from my career” Looking forward to some free time to explore the many different ways in which libraries connect with their communities
  2. For many of us, summer reading programs represent the most sacred of cows. When we started our jobs, we learned HOW.IT.IS.DONE. Even if our predecessor was no longer there, the director, the board, our co-workers and even our patrons had strong thoughts about HIID. It makes it tough not to feel like "Who am I to change things?" But really, when it gets right down to it, you ARE the one with the knowledge and ability to make change happen.
  3. Why do we do SLP? Summer slide is real Show video and talk about visceral effect even though we know this is true But We’ve Always Done It This Way isn’t a good reason to keep doing “it” Don’t throw baby out with bathwater Do carefully consider how what you’re doing helps keep kids learning during the summer How do you make that learning fun Performers -- what are you aiming for Prizes -- what do they bring to the program? Know your demographics; talk to families -- at the library, at your religious organization, in the grocery store (more on this in a minute) Convincing the powers that be Recognizing that change may be a process
  4. Taming SLP madness Strategies for big daycare crowds Overprogramming SG will talk about saying yes to too many programs Complainers
  5. Especially for at-risk kids How do you track this participation? What does it bring to your library? To your community? Partnering with schools and summer camps Free lunch program
  6. Teen prizes may be going stronger TAB chooses prizes and requirements Key is teen involvement When designing activities, remember the importance of happy connections between children and caring adults and between teens and caring adults
  7. SG will talk about the manga drawing kids and can also talk about “intentional activities”
