Michigan Department of Education's Prenatal through Age 8 (P-8) Priority Initiative<http://www.michigan.gov/documents/mde/P-8_Priority_Initiative_656507_7.pdf>
Michigan's Top 10 in 10 Strategic Plan states that we will further develop a more coherent and aligned education system at all levels. Using the work of Fullan, Kirtman, and others, leadership at the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) has identified three priorities (P-8, Whole Child, and Early Literacy) to provide a focused direction and to guide the work at the department during the next few years. These three priorities are designed to sharpen our focus in the department; to increase cross-agency work within the department, and to explicitly link that work to Michigan's Top 10 in 10 Strategic Plan.

Upcoming Webinars & Workshops

Creating a Tween Collection<https://libraryofmichigan.z2systems.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event.jsp?event=229>
Thursday, September 12th, 2:00 PM EDT
Thinking of creating a collection just for tweens? Curious why such a collection is important? Join Karen M. Smith, a Michigan librarian and author of "Creating a Tween Collection: A Practical guide for Librarians," as she shares tips on tween literature, carving out a space, budgeting, and more. Webinar attendees will receive a free copy of the book; space is limited!  If unable to attend live, the webinar will be recorded for registrants.

Save the Date for 2020's "Imagine Your Story" and Virtual Reality Workshop!: Registration will open later this summer, but for now save the following dates on your 2019 Fall calendars: Monday, November 18 (Bloomfield Township Public Library, Bloomfield Twp), Tuesday, November 19 (Portage District Library, Portage), and Thursday, November 21 (Otsego County Library, Gaylord).
Nationally known storyteller Will Stuck will present on the 2020 Collaborative Summer Library Program's "Imagine Your Story."  From passive programming to decorating to age-specific ideas, Stuck will help refresh your summer reading programs.  Later in the day we will take the theme a step further and dive into the world of Virtual Reality with Kevin McDonough, Reference Librarian at Northern Michigan University, learning about different VR equipment, experiencing a virtual reality for yourself, and resources to support programming in your library with VR.

These programs are supported in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. #IMLS
