[Lancaster, Cathy (MDE)]

Transforming Teen Services
[YALSA Logo]An In-Person Workshop, 10am-5pm ET at the three following locations:
Monday, November 14th at Bloomfield Township Public Library<https://libraryofmichigan.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event.jsp?event=2570>,

or Thursday, November 17th at Otsego County Library<https://libraryofmichigan.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/libraryofmichigan/event.jsp?event=2580>
Having challenges with programming and interacting with teens? Be sure to join us!
This workshop will introduce participants to the core concepts of Connected Learning (CL) and Computational Thinking (CT) and how they apply to teen services.
We will explore the Connected Learning principles of relationships, interests and opportunities and how to apply the theory into practice. Using the concepts of CT as a problem-solving framework, we will take part in an activity that introduces library staff to a project they can use for teen programming. Participate in hands-on, interactive learning and discuss what CL and CT are and how they can be integrated into teen activities. This workshop will help participants scaffold knowledge they may already have about CL and CT and use it to recognize the ways in which CT supports CL.
Space is limited and there will be a waitlist. If you register but need to cancel, please do so 72 hours before the event so we can arrange for someone to fill your seat.
This project is made possible by grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan.

Registration & details for all of LM's trainings can be found at https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/libraries/ce/intro/lm-continuing-education-opportunities.
