18. Discovering Discoverability: Creating Library spaces for the kids that need them most

Program: School Library System

Audience: School librarians

Dates: 4/23/2024

Who are libraries for? From the way we shelve the books to how we order them, display them, promote them (and everything in between!), traditional library systems were designed to support readers who already know what resources they want, how the library is organized and who understand how to navigate existing search tools. But what about those readers who have no idea what book they want, or even that they want a book at all? What about those readers who don't care how the library is organized and who will never, despite all of our best efforts, learn how to use the catalog? What about those readers who don't embrace reading, school or the library, but need a space where they feel safe, welcomed and seen??? How do we make our library spaces discoverable for all students, not just some? In this session, we will discuss the difference between searchability and discoverability and explore ways to disrupt traditional library practices and then rebuild them for the readers who need them most. With a focus on reimagining library spaces in ways that emphasize discoverability over searchability, this hands-on workshop will unpack how to make big (and small!) changes to school library spaces in a way that refocuses the school library on our most vulnerable readers. Morning refreshments & lunch will be provided, please bring a device.

Audience: This course is designed for School Personnel

Dates: 5/6/2024 to 5/15/2024

Wait List

Therapeutic Crisis Intervention for Schools (TCIS) is a trauma-informed crisis prevention and management system. The TCIS system helps staff create a learning environment that decreases risk factors while increasing protective factors so both students and staff can feel safe. TCIS provides staff an understanding of trauma sensitive practices and skills (co-regulation) to help students learn how to regulate and manage their own emotions. These newly learned skills encourage a greater willingness and capacity for our students to learn.

TCIS helps participants and schools to:

◉ Create a trauma-sensitive environment where students and adults are safe and feel safe within their roles as a staff member
◉ Pro-actively prevent and/or deescalate potential crisis situations with the students they work with
◉ Manage a crisis situation in a therapeutic manner, and, if necessary, intervene physically in a manner that reduces the risk of harm to students and staff
◉ Process the crisis event with students and each other to help improve their coping strategies to reduce future risk
