Genrefying the Nonfiction Collection to Support Teachers and Attract Readers
Wednesday August 28, 2024 10:10am - 11:05am PDT
Educator Resource Center (ERC)
 How do you quickly pivot from supporting your 6th grade Science teacher's class in their research on Human Impact on Climate Change to helping a 7th grade Social Studies teacher reach her curricular goals for Medieval Japan? By genrefying your nonfiction collection! But, you say, Melvyl Dewey created a classification system 150 years ago that works for all. Or does it? If you are finding that Dewey falls short in organizing your school library's nonfiction collection, by all means change it. Additionally, if you find that students seldom gravitate toward the nonfiction collection for pleasure reading you may want to consider genrefying it. Michael Ambrose would like to share ideas on how to do this.

COMPASS from the California State Library provides supplemental resources to all K-12 public school students and educators, both in the classroom and at home. These library resources have expanded over the years to include multimedia, online tools, streaming video, digital books, and interactive programming, in addition to research and educational content. Inquiry and research require vetted resources designed to meet the needs of K-12 students. And the State Library's COMPASS program was established to give ALL students the tools they need to research and explore on their own. COMPASS staff will provide an overview of resources from Britannica, ProQuest, Alexander Street, Gale and TeachingBooks with a lens toward inquiry and research in social studies, environmental literacy, ELA, and Ethnic Studies. Let’s exchange ideas about how these resources can support you and your students!

How can media literacy help us raise awareness, organize for change, and take restorative action? The Santa Clara County Office of Education’s grant-funded media literacy project explored this question while designing a media literacy and online critical thinking high school curriculum. This free curriculum includes a student-paced online course and a teacher-facilitated blended learning unit, both of which have been piloted by hundreds of high school students across three California counties. Session attendees will explore and experience the curriculum by engaging in interactive online activities, participating in discussions, and connecting to real stories. Educators will leave the session with full access to the curriculum, including strategies, resources, and examples to empower students to become critical media consumers and agents of social change.

Analog Books for Digital Readers
Thursday August 29, 2024 10:30am - 11:25am PDT
Educator Resource Center (ERC)
Today's readers are used to consuming (and creating!) information from sources that leverage multiple literacies to convey messages and ideas. In comparison, traditional print books can feel heavy and overwhelming for readers whose eyes are used to scanning through content quickly - bouncing from images to text to video to graphs to charts and back again. This session will focus on authors and books that have embraced the formats today's readers most respond to. Plus, we'll discuss how these multimodal texts can be used to help build fluency, confidence and a positive reading identity.

Librarians will be in the role of the students, gathering information about quilting and the history of some of its patterns, measuring for information, and adapting those patterns and materials to elaborate on a quilting design of their choosing. **Please bring your computer to this session.**
