Teaching Librarian participate, and the charge is by the site. With a data projector, the opportunities for you and your local colleagues are limitless! Tips for getting the most out of the Education Institute: u take a thorough look at the course offerings, either in the booklet received through the mail, or on the Education Institute or OLA Web sites. Sessions aimed at teacher-librarians will likely be the first to catch your attention, but have a good look at programs from other library sectors, too. Extending our learning beyond the world of the school can only enhance our professional knowledge and make us better teachers. u talk to your local colleagues and plan to participate in audio conferences and Web conferences together at one site. Not only will this save you money, but your learning experience will be enhanced by your own discussions and opportunities for local planning. u spread the word. Tell your teaching colleagues and school administrators about sessions of particular interest. Partnering for learning with your peers can only enhance opportunities for collaborative teaching and broaden understanding of the importance of the school library program. u voice your needs. If you are looking for professional help on a topic not offered or you have an idea for an Education Institute session, please contact your OSLA Continuing Education Committee. z Your OSLA Continuing Education Committee: Carol Koechlin, Chair Bobbie Henley Anita Brooks Kirkland Anita Brooks Kirkland ttoo YYoouurr DDeesskkttoopp:: Upcoming Education Institute Sessions February 20, 2007 4:00 pm Histori.ca: The Richness of Canada's History!
