FYI,

Erikson Institute's TEC Center, Chicago, IL., is now offering a new IMLS-funded professional development program, Media Literacy in Early Childhood for Youth Library Staff. Recruitment is open for this four-month professional development series, in which participants will spend approximately 10 to 12 hours total in entirely online synchronous and asynchronous learning. Cohorts will be made up of 20-25 youth library staff from across the U.S.

Learn more about the program and apply today at https://www.erikson.edu/professional-development/tec-center/librarians/   

Audience: Public and school library staff who either work directly with young children (ages birth through 8 years old) and families or supervise library staff who do work directly with young children and families.

Incentive: All participants will receive a certificate and a $400 honorarium for their library once they complete the program to compensate for their time. 

Please forward this information to your youth services colleagues if you think they might be interested.
