Ready 2 Read: Supercharged Storytime Learning Cohort
From Webjuction: "Supercharged Storytimes is a self-paced course consisting of six modules, which include videos, readings, activities, and reflection questions. The course provides training in how to intentionally apply research-based practices to boost early literacy in young children attending library storytime."
To help create communities of early literacy learning and practice among librarians, the Montana State Library has started organizing small learning cohorts to work through the Supercharged Storytimes course through Webjunction. Cohort participants work through each of the self-paced modules on Webjunction, and then meet online to discuss materials and share ideas.
If you are interested in participating in a Supercharged Storytime cohort, please email Amelea Kim at akim@mt.gov to be put on a notification list for the next cohort. Interested participants must apply to be part of the cohort, and limited space is available (usually 6 or 7 spots).
