ESSA Workshops at #WEMTA17

WEMTA is partnering with the American Association of School Librarians (AASL), in collaboration with the American Library Association's Washington Office and Office for Library Advocacy to offer a complimentary workshop on the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). These workshops will be offered on Sunday afternoon and Tuesday morning.

AASL leaders will facilitate the session which will include:

• The most current information on developments at the Federal level and work through the sections of ESSA that can be directly linked to the school librarian/library program.
• Connecting ESSA language to the school librarian's role.
• Discussing current state work with recommendations for opportunities at state and local levels to ensure the effective school library program's language in ESSA.

This hands-on session will aid in identifying stakeholders, building 
coalitions, message crafting and elevator speech development. While the content will be directly related to ESSA, the tools and exercise portion is advocacy for positioning school librarians in general as leaders for teaching and learning. Each participant will receive an ESSA handbooks.

  1. This article discusses techniques you can use to advance your book. One thing I need to bring up is that it's hard to figure out which strategies pay off even after you've made them. Some of the time book deals can occur because of a mix of at least two unique strategies, and even sometime later, you may not know which techniques assumed a part. jane jenkins herlong
