October 11 Teacher Librarian Conference
We would like to invite you and paras to the October 11 teacher librarian conference at Heartland AEA. We are not sure if all or parts of the conference will be recorded. We'll have information for you at the meeting about license renewal credit. Lunch is on your own. Registration: HL - Teacher Librarian Conference - 204311
TENTATIVE AGENDA:
Education Records and Library Materials
How does your district safeguard library circulation records of students? What procedures are in place for districts to respond to objections to instructional and library materials? Join this conversation on recent changes to policies on instructional and library materials, and safeguarding student privacy. Come ready to ask questions during this interactive session.
