Developmentally Appropriate Programming for Youth<https://infopeople.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=732>

An Infopeople 4-week online course, January 9 - February 5, 2018

Would you like to learn about new resources for designing and evaluating your library programs for youth? Developmentally appropriate programming identifies the program spaces, formats, content, and staffing models that equip libraries to offer high-impact programs designed precisely for the developmental levels of their intended audiences. The result is programming that best supports social/emotional development and achievement of developmental milestones.

At the end of this 4-week online course learners will:


  *   Be able to apply concepts of universal design and connected learning to existing programs.
  *   Evaluate existing programs for developmental appropriateness and adapt program components to effectively reach multiple ages.
  *   Have access to a rubric for developmentally appropriate programming as well as a suite of go-to resources for developing and evaluating high-quality, age-appropriate programs for their young library users.

Facilitating Multi-Dimensional Listening:  Helping Groups Identify Common Ground while Acknowledging Differences <https://infopeople.org/civicrm/event/info?id=740&reset=1>



Many of us are familiar with the practice of "active listening."  This webinar will help facilitators and discussion leaders further develop their skills to listen beneath the surface of what's being said. You will receive instruction in advanced facilitation concepts supported by examples from fellow librarians. Skill in multi-dimensional listening is particularly relevant in today's society when people can be extra sensitive to identity and position. Learn how to help the entire group listen together more skillfully for clues to where there might be common ground while respecting differences that arise.  Join us to hone your listening and facilitation skills and bring questions from your own experiences.



This session is hosted by the California State Library, represented by Suzanne Flint. The lead presenter will be Susan Stuart Clark, with case examples curated from California librarians experienced in facilitating multi-dimensional listening.

Facilitating Constructive Contributions:  Dealing with Difficult Behaviors; Helping People Share from a Better Place<https://infopeople.org/civicrm/event/info?id=741&reset=1>



Basic facilitation skills involve keeping a group on topic and on time.  But what happens when a participant needs special attention? This webinar will identify common types of disruptive behavior and share multiple methods for facilitators to keep the conversation constructive.  We'll discuss what kinds of factors lead caring people to become the "difficult" ones to better understand which strategy to use when. We'll also review how to create the conditions that reduce the likelihood of difficult of behaviors in the first place.  Bring questions from your own challenging facilitation moments for the extended question and answer session.



This session is hosted by the California State Library, represented by Suzanne Flint. The lead presenter will be Susan Stuart Clark, with case examples curated from California librarians experienced in facilitating challenging participants.
