Case Study: LSE Library making connections presented at ARA South West semina...Maria Bell
Presentation at ARA South West seminar Oct 2019 providing case study on LSE Library heritage learning and engagement developments. LSE Library has built its edcuation materials for schools and engagement activities for its external audiences through online resources, public event programming. schools activties and partnerships utilising its heritage collections.
Orrville has a long and distinguished history in partnership with the Institute of Global Ethics. To perpetuate a sense of ownership in shaping the character of our youth, the Character Education Committee of the Heartland Education Community, Inc. worked with the Institute of Global Ethics to conduct a series of seminars that lead to the development of “shared values”. These seminars were held in 1994. Experts from The Institute of Global Ethics facilitated the process to identify shared values.
More than 25 seminars were held with more than 300 community members attending. In each seminar, the question was asked: If you could post ethical character traits over the door of our school, which traits would you select for the children and educators to model? The nine traits mentioned most often during the seminars became the “Words of the Month” for our community. The “Words of the Month” program is the foundation of our character education program and is an integral part of our yearly theme.
The theme for 2012-2013 “Filling Your Bucket with Good Character” integrated the words of the month and books by Carol McCloud to provide students with opportunities to create and support a caring community while providing moral actions. The service learning continued throughout the year, as students participated in 4 community service projects during the year.

CILIP Cymru Wales Conference 2019: Off The Shelf – Reading For Wellbeing at U...CILIP
Research shows that reading for pleasure reduces stress and depression, lowers the risk of dementia and leads to a stronger sense of identity and social inclusion. Taking inspiration from the global ‘Book Fairy’ phenomenon, our ‘Off The Shelf’ outreach campaign has been designed to stimulate the emotional and physical wellbeing of our students and staff through access to fiction and non-fiction texts, for pleasure, via a series of themed campus book-drops. This paper will examine the research and outline the details of our campaign from inception to delivery, reflecting on the wider impact we hope to achieve within the HE wellbeing agenda.

Getting Together To Go Forward: The Lessons of Diversity Initiatives and How ...Louis Muñoz Jr.
Graduates from various library diversity initiatives will discuss their experiences and summarize their programs’ outcomes. Presenters and participants will then brainstorm and explore various strategies that their institutions can use to recruit, nurture, and retain more individuals from under-represented groups. At the conclusion of the program, participants will share their suggestions with the larger group. (These ideas will form the nucleus of a Wiki resource that librarians can use for furthering diversity efforts.)

Presented at the virtual Georgia Libraries Conference in October 2020.
How do we properly welcome newcomers to our campuses and communities during social distancing? Come learn about our involvement in the City of Augusta’s Welcome Week for immigrants and community members and our work helping plan the University of South Carolina Aiken’s Week of Welcome celebrating the return of new and continuing students to campus. We will relate our experience working with immigrants, new and international students, and our new neighbors in the Central Savannah River Area. We will discuss newcomer’s information needs, and opportunities and challenges of putting on these events during COVID-19.
School’s out for summer, as you’ve probably noticed because of the recent influx of tots and teens participating in your story hours and book clubs. Public librarians with experience in youth outreach will spend this hour sharing what has worked and what has not when it comes to reaching this patron population at their libraries. Bring your own best practices to share with the group as well.

Back by popular demand! Each year, a number of new reports about public libraries are produced by organizations like Pew, OCLC, Library Journal, The Aspen Institute, and others. These reports contain valuable information that can help us plan, develop services, and improve existing services, but unfortunately, few of us have the time to read every single one. The goal of this session is to help attendees get an overview of those reports and their implications for our work. Each panelist will share a summary of a report they believe is significant and discuss how they have used or will use the information at their library. Attendees will be encouraged to share other reports and insights that have mattered to them, too!

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
