Supercharge Your Storytime Assessment: Using Data to Tell Your Story

Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/supercharge-your-storytime-assessment.html<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webjunction.org%2Fevents%2Fwebjunction%2Fsupercharge-your-storytime-assessment.html&data=02%7C01%7Catkine%40michigan.gov%7Ca095ea65c7904aa7c65e08d69cf5f5e4%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C0%7C636868977541893621&sdata=ZylOOisVg0NEZ4A9qacfS95BAzPsmzr9IQo8K9%2FMZtA%3D&reserved=0>



We know that Supercharged Storytimes DO make a difference in building early literacy skills and giving children an early start on reading readiness. But do the administrators and decision makers in your library community know this? It's critical to keep telling the story of your impact and advocating for the value of storytimes for early learning, and having data to back it up will reinforce your message. In this webinar, you’ll hear from practitioners who have overcome their hesitancy around storytime assessment and have discovered the power of data to tell their library story. Get answers to how the Project Outcome early learning assessment tools can make data collection and reporting easy. With feedback from your storytime families, you can improve your services and gather stories that give life to the impact you and your library are having.

It's a big task to define the library’s future over the next three or five years, and strategic planning is becoming less and less effective in a rapidly changing world. The Salt Lake City Public Library (SLCPL) has created a new approach that is flexible, staff-driven, and human-centered. SCLPL's Strategic Roadmap is not a 100-page plan in a binder-on-a-shelf; it’s an experiential learning tool that invites all staff to participate in the co-creation of meaningful outcomes and experiences for the community. The Roadmap focuses less on planning and more on building capacity of staff to adopt a human-centered service design mindset and skillset. SLCPL staff are adopting a new perspective, continually experimenting with and adapting spaces, collections, services, programs, and their own roles, to responsively address community needs and aspirations in an ever-changing landscape. Join us for this webinar to learn how to cultivate new skills to help bring the Roadmap to life for your library’s strategic planning.
