Every year for 10 years, non-profits from Central Pennsylvania have brought their needs for professional-quality design materials to Pennsylvania College of Art & Design’s American Institute of Graphic Arts Student Chapter (AIGA) for the annual Designathon. Every year, PCA&D students, aided by faculty members and PCA&D alumni (and lots of coffee), create brochures, logos, t-shirts, posters, websites and more during a 24 hour period.

During the 10th annual event on Feb 23 aND 24, 28 Graphic Design students aided by 8 faculty members and 8 alumni, one of whom participated in the original Designathon, sequesterED themselves at PCA&D starting at 6 p.m. on February 23 to deliver professional-quality design services at no charge to the non-profits. Students at PCA&D who participate in the Designathon gain real-world experience in creating projects for clients under a tight, 24-hour deadline. They learn that non-profits have very real marketing needs in order to be successful, and strong graphic design on well-organized collateral pieces are vital components in successful communications and marketing plans. More importantly, students experience the value of giving back to the community.
What’s the best way to engage parents and families in flipped learning? Watch a roundtable discussion and get the perspective of parents, teachers and administrators on best practices in school-to-home communications in a flipped learning environment. Our in-depth discussion will include:
1. How strong school-to-home connections can improve the flipped learning experience for parents, teachers and students
2. Why you’ll need to connect with parents and families differently to support a flipped learning environment
3. Tips to connect with students and their families outside the classroom
4. What parents want to improve collaboration and communication between school and home
Speakers from St. Louis Schools (MI) and FLN
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.

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.

12. Outcomes “ All the lessons I learned from here I will take them with me in everyday life. It’s always good to get all the knowledge you need; you are never too old to learn.” “ I took my responsibilities and gain new friends in the program. I have changed into a new man that u see today. “ “ My mom Maisha, My Auntie Ellen, my grandma Sandra. This is the best time, I made friends. I love everyone. I’m happy that I met everybody” “ I can’t stop reading” “ I completed my first resume” “ Right now I’m kinda addicted to reading.”
Elizabeth: Ask who is in the audience: academic, public libraries, schools; NYC, NJ, Out of state Sheila: 85,000 disconnected youth in NYC have not attained a high school diploma or GED. The 2008 high school drop out rate was 43% in New York City. Report advised to create small programs with literacy services, wrap around social services that were based in youth development principles. Brooklyn has the largest share (39%) of disconnected youth in New York City Eva: BPL began to track young people turning to the library with questions about their education. In 2007-2008 1/3 of patrons at Pre-GED registrations were between the ages of 17 and 24. Harder to retain. Issue to be addressed. CEO started planning the program in 2007. CEO approached BPL in spring 2008. Implemented in 3 library systems.
Aneicia City’s definition: Out of school and out of work . Over-aged and under-credited . Our definition-Experience Students struggled academically. Often came from families with similar issues. Students with few credits and difficulty in reading would often drop out of high school or were pushed out of school (discharge). Reading at the 4th grade level in 10th grade. (Sample of writing?) Disenchanted with the public school system. Felt that teachers don’t have time to deal with their issues; guidance counselors are overwhelmed. Didn’t meet the basic literacy requirements of GED and other Alternative High School programs. The combination of low literacy and communication. Encountered difficulties navigating the large DOE system, would give up and look outside the DOE. Want to get their diploma; want to work. Some have been able to work part time positions. Older immigrant youth. 1.5 generation who immigrated as adolescents. Reports say that there is a disproportionate amount of black and Latino young men who are disconnected. We found an equal number of M/F (second year).
Sheila and Sandra Safe neutral environment In every neighborhood Emphasis on lifelong learning Librarians are nonjudgmental in their orientation
Aneicia and Eva: Why would this type of program fit in a library-based adult literacy program? How does an adult education setting differ from a regular school setting? BPL Literacy programs’ educational philosophy: -Mini-library with accessible texts that are appropriate for adults. -Emphasis on writing and technology from day one. -Build library usership -Group instruction (literacy is social practice) rather than one on one -Resource rich. Thematic/content based instruction with lot of books, databases. Example: Immigration and identity
Sandra, Eva What was the process in creating this collection? Based the usage and circulation, what changes were made the second year? Accessibility and reading level 4th-6th grade reading level Visuals such as photographs, illustrations and captions Controlled vocabulary Thin books (under 300 pages) Diversity of topic format and genre Balance of fiction and nonfiction Multicultural Literature Titles and covers Popularity and appeal Contemporary realistic fiction Nonstandard format Popularity within BPL System Connections to curriculum content Literacy instruction thematic units Career exploration and job readiness Pre-GED texts in content areas Resources used: Adult literacy publications, YALSA book lists, awards lists, yalsa-bk listserv Read as much adult fiction as young adult fiction. Use the cover art, subject (“real stories”) and size of book (#pages). More interested in urban or street fiction; utilizing the regular library collection more. Classroom collections are used more for instruction.
Can you speak a little about the curriculum planning process? What library resources did you find useful? How do you make class engaging? Aneicia, Eva, Sandra State of the art technology. Students all have laptops. There are smart boards in each classroom. Special collection located in the classroom; students put holds on books from throughout the system Connection outside the classroom; opportunities for extended learning/application. Field trips, life skills. On field trips students are engaged in an activity in which they apply the skills/knowledge that they learned in class. Ex. Environment unit visit to Central Park Conservancy; workshops from EJIC. Thematic planning (backward planning). Research demonstrates that students retain literacy skills when they are presented with a common theme and overarching questions over time. Choose hot topics for 10 week units and work from there. Choose learning strategies and skills that will be the focus. Choose materials/stories that connect to their experiences, and make connections to the GED content. Independent reading. “Milk a book”: Routines are set up in the class in which students are able to reflect, discuss, write about what they read. Active reading; pursuing their interests and questions. Not a passive approach in which we “cover” material.
Aneicia, Sheila, Sandra, Eva Can you describe the outreach strategy? What tips/advice would you give about outreach? Language of marketing important, pre-ged vs literacy program Building partnerships for reference and referral; Lit database for outreach Large network of outreach across the borough through librarians Mailings to organizations, gov. organizations Street outreach
Aneicia and Sandra Can you explain what the GED is & the distinction between pre-GED & GED programs? What is the requirement for enrollment What makes this program different from other GED/Pre-GED programs besides it being in a library?
Library view – Sheila & Sandra Staff awareness of pre-GED, captive group for programs, life-long library users, staff more open to this group, opportunities for staff training (lexile, ged etc) Aneicia & Eva Stats etc
