The eight library systems in the Southeastern region, Dutchess, Orange-Ulster, Rockland, Sullivan and Ulster School Library Systems, Ramapo-Catskill, and Mid-Hudson Public Library Systems and SENYLRC, are sponsoring Project Ready: Reimagining Equity and Access for Diverse Youth. This is an extensive professional development program that will run from January to May 2021. It will follow the Project READY syllabus developed by the University of North Carolina. This program is designed "for school and public youth services librarians, library administrators, and others interested in improving their knowledge about race and racism, racial equity, and culturally sustaining pedagogy. The primary focus of the Project READY curriculum is on improving relationships with, services to, and resources for youth of color and Native youth." Participants will be required to attend at least five live webinars and participate in asynchronous discussion groups to receive CTLE credit. Dr. Evangela Oates will be the facilitator/coordinator for this program. The initial cohort will be limited to 100 participants drawn from school, public and academic libraries.
The course is being subsidized by the Sullivan School Library System. Participants will pay $125.00 to register. If personal checks are being sent, please contact me for details. lynn.miller@scboces.org 845-295-4090.
