School Library Policies & Procedures
School libraries should have a selection, retention/weeding, and reconsideration/relocation policy. During this session, attendees will draft or revise school library policies and procedures that are clear, concise, and concrete, using common language and vertical alignment.

Library Resources to Support Awareness, Mindfulness, & Self-care
Awareness is extremely important for students and teachers to be their best selves. Now more than ever, it is vital for self-care and mindfulness to be included in an educator's toolkit. To help prevent teacher and student burnout, resources focus on social-emotional learning and self-care in routines and library spaces. This is a one-hour presentation.

I enjoyed everything about this session. Learning about explore boards and choice boards were my favorite and most useful parts of the session. Excellent presentation. I will model this presenter's method of deliver in my class. She captured my attention from the beginning to the end of this session.
