Hello All, Library Staff have begun to prepare for the NCSS conference. We have a new "booth" and a wonderful audience of Social Studies educators to try it "on"! We know the impact of "voices from the trenches" and so, hope that those of you who are attending NCSS will be willing to join us in the Library's booth. If you are attending the conference, and are willing to do so, we would like to actually schedule you for a "booth" presentation. We will have presentations going on throughout the conference on various topics. Your sharing would be marvelous! You might choose to tell of a student project (and bring student work to support your tale of success!), to talk about your Fellow's Project, to share a professional development technique you have used with staff members in your district, etc.. If you are not attending NCSS, you can still share your "wonderfulness". I received a package from Claire Griffin (Hawaii, Class of '00) yesterday. She sent a packet of "I Am" poems created by her students (not a long term, but a two day project), using the AM collections as their resource. These are to "DIE" for. Seeing them will help other teachers realize that they can USE the collections in viable ways. If you have student work from projects you have done (and if you and those students are willing to part with some of it)..we would love to display such work at NCSS (and future conferences!). Think about it.... We'll talk more about this... Best, Leni Class of '97 -- Leni Donlan [log in to unmask] http://learning.loc.gov/learn/
