Camp Read a Lot 2016 - Laura Purdie Salas and Lauren Stringer, presenters.
Camp Read a Lot is a conference designed for librarians and teachers to read and evaluate newer children's literature and come together to discuss the books as well as hear presentations by noted Minnesota authors.
67 participated
It is hopeful that the majority of those attending will have the opportunity to earn continuing education credits toward their licensure. Other benefits is the exposure to children's literature that is new or recently published. In completing the assigned reading, each participant should have a new understanding of reading materials that they may not have been familiar with, as well as ways to utilize those books in their own environments. Participant evaluations will be collected.
70 registered, 67 attended, 61 continuing education credits were issued, 9 cancellations, 1 no show, 89% earned their CEUS. The speakers were excellent and both presented morning and afternoon talks including a hands on session each afternoon where participants learned about ways to incorporate poetry and origami into their classrooms.
