HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, KY -- Northern Kentucky University and the READiness Matters Taskforce, a school readiness initiative of Kentucky public librarians, announce a new professional development series supporting early childhood programming. This workshop series is part of Steely Library’s continuing education program for librarians and library staff members.
The workshops are offered online, accessible 24/7 from any geographic area, conveniently bringing the expertise of library science faculty and experienced practitioners to any local library. The School Readiness series allows library staff to attain CEU credits as well as one, two, or three specialized credential certificates in this field.
In the core certificate, participants will learn key child development principles, the developmental domains of school readiness, and early literacy teaching techniques. A second certificate in early literacy will guide enrollees in the examination of successful library programs, as well as the identification of many resources supporting enriched learning activities for young children. The third certificate explores issues of program administration, such as the development of increased funding and outreach to expand the library’s service to new groups of children and families. For more information on the READiness Matters credential certificates, Northern Kentucky University’s bachelor degree in Library Informatics, and additional 21st Century Library Career Building continuing education offerings, please see http://libraryeducation.nku.edu.
