A commitment to helping adults inspire young children to learn is one of the best ways libraries can foster lasting connections with families across generations. The best way to serve our communities is through excellence.
In this class, we will examine several approaches that libraries can use—or adapt from their current practices—to assess the effectiveness of early literacy programs. These include self-assessments, verbal and survey feedback, observations, and informal and formal evaluations. In addition, hands-on practice will support the development of advocacy skills through the creation of an early literacy advocacy plan.
Note: All staff levels are encouraged to take this class to help strengthen your library’s ability to assess, foster, and advocate for early literacy and learning.
A goal of this course is to promote excellence in adult living—which begins in early childhood. One key objective is to help adults foster excellence within their family environments.
After taking this class, successful participants will be able to:
