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!

Unplug for a session to reconnect with your inner child. Learn the science behind what makes play so powerful in learning environments. Develop practices in mindfulness that go beyond breathing and stillness and help meet the social emotional needs of the learners in your space. Walk away with easy-to-implement, quick strategies you can try out on Monday that help learners become more connected, more productive, and more creative.
