Are graduate credits available?
Is there a schedule of workshops or presentation sessions for the Annual Conference?
Hi, Do you have a schedule of the workshops being offered?
Thanks
Could you please tell me the starting and ending times for one day? (I need it to fill out my PD form.)
We are finalizing the schedule of workshops now. We will post it as soon as it is complete!
Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. and the final breakout sessions end at 4:30. On Tuesday May 15th there is also a vendor reception from 4:30-5:30. See you at the conference!
I was wondering which day President-Elect Andrea Ange is speaking.
Thanks
Shelley –
Andrea, the President Elect of the New England School Library Association, will be presenting a breakout session on Monday morning.
Helen Burnham
The 2012 Conference at a glance is now available! (see above)
A credit option through Plymouth State University will be offered at additional cost to two-day attendees. A reflection, an annotated bibliography of additional readings and a description of an action plan to implement new practice will likely be required as a follow-up to the conference.
Do you have descriptions of the workshops? It is difficult to figure out what they are all about by just the title.
Lori, Our programs are filled with wonderful detail and descriptions. We will post the full program as soon as it is available. Printed programs will be handed out at the conference. See you at the Conference!
ANY chance of getting the GSF or Flume awards lists for 2012/13 posted here? Or anywhere?
