2016-2017 Professional Learning Opportunities due SEPT 9th The time has once again come to think about out-of-district professional development opportunities. As we are all aware, program funding has been cut over the years and is limited on the amount of money available. Just like last year, in an effort to be fair and transparent to you while at the same time fulfilling fiscal obligations to the district, each request to be valuated and a determination on how to best spend the allotted funds. In order to do this, all requests must be submitted by the end of the day on September 9th using the Conference Pre-Approval form found online at https://goo.gl/w72f6F. All documents you will need for travel will be found in this folder. In addition to completing the pre-approval form, please also let us know if you are planning on submitting a session proposal at a conference and what your topic might be on this Google Form at goo.gl/forms/N8L561zGWObiDYwD2 Note: Some events do not have their rates posted yet so please do your best to approximate using the published rates from the previous year. Some things that will inform the decision are your past experiences with this opportunity (if you've gone the past 3 years, it may be someone else's turn), as well as your willingness to be a part of the event program by submitting a proposal to speak at the event (some events like METC and the Missouri Google Summit will give discounts for their speakers) and the cost and location of the event. By requesting funds from the library program, you are also agreeing to share your learning with the rest of the librarians. This will look different depending on the conference that you attended. As in year's past, Bill is able to pay for registration and some travel expenses depending on the event. Subs are to be paid for by the building. Remember that before you submit your form that it must be signed by your principal. Program Evaluation Update The initial meeting for the core group of librarians will be Monday, September 12th at 4:30 at Wren Hollow's library. The meeting will be about an hour long. In the preparation for the meeting please review the Future Ready Library framework and jot down any questions or comments that you might have at this time. What does it mean to be a librarian in the digital age?
