Join us for the next LMC @ The Forefront webinar!

Tuesday, Nov. 18 at 4 p.m. Eastern Time
Brain-Friendly Teaching and Learning in Your Think Tank Library
Presented by Paige Jaeger, librarian turned administrator; with Mary Ratzer, veteran teacher, school librarian, and adjunct professor

In This Session
In this webinar, discover new and effective approaches to learning and teaching in the school library program. This one hour could transform your library into a Think Tank! With strong rationale for brain-based learning coming from successful practice, neuroscience, and standards reform, we’ll explore why and how it works. There will be a close look at what a child’s brain – if it could talk - would say about optimal learning, along with an array of everyday practice to turn a library into a Think Tank.

Paige Jaeger and Mary Ratzer will show us how real world learning plans can serve as instructional models. Creating a brain-based learning and teaching dynamic in your library can begin with this close and real world view. Exploring both elementary and secondary Think Tank learning plans, in multiple disciplines, a complete package comes together, ready to adapt by an innovative school librarian. A straightforward recipe for brain-based learning and teaching will be the take away big idea. Participants will reflect on how their programs are already Think Tanks, and how strategic change can kick practice up a notch and help learners succeed.

Join Paige and Mary on November 18 to learn how to transform your school library into a Think Tank!
