MSLA 2025 Conference

DESE has asked MSLA to assist with the creation of a library-specific evaluation rubric. An MSLA task force is currently working on the creation of this rubric. This session will be a focus group with members of the task force. MSLA attendees are invited to give feedback and ideas about what our new evaluation rubric should look like and do. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Introduction to using storytelling as both an interactive and presentation tool in the elementary library. Curriculum connections as well as exposure to cultural and historical materials are part of using this tool in the library. I've taught a storytelling class as a graduate class for years. I really can't figure out a way to offer it virtually and so would love to use the Conference as an opportunity to bring this traditional librarian skill to newer staff. I have lots of simple games that allow students to interact with stories and stories engage classes, extending and expanding their listening skills.

TBD

Explore how your library can begin to approach collection development, classification, and organization around a decolonial mindset. Leave with a better understanding and toolkit to tackling your own scaled projects exploring curricula and space.
