A Successful First Round!
Thirty-seven library and other school staff across South Dakota successfully completed the first round of the one-credit online course An Introduction to the 2019 SD School Library Standards. This course is part of the Learn & Lead series from the South Dakota State Library and is specifically for school librarians and others who work with and in school libraries including classified staff.
Participants made their way through a digital workbook incorporating a variety of related topics including:
...It was exactly what I needed to dive in and examine the standards.
...This course has given me the knowledge and confidence to use them (library standards) more.
...It was good to refresh on what I need to be doing. My staff were amazed they could get help with their standards by using the library standards. Thank you very much for the opportunity to take this class!
...I just wanted to say that I had an amazing experience with this course and I loved how the material was presented through the eworkbook.
...This was a great opportunity to learn about the library standards and to reflect on how they will work with the other academic standards!
