Through discussion and writing, we will bring to life the documents, run away notices, that provide us a glimpse of the enslaved human beings who resisted, defied, flew away, and claimed for themselves a lifetime or mere precious moments of freedom. Large numbers of enslaved people took liberation into their own hands. We peer through a glass darkly, an opaque window that separates us from the enslaved by time and gaps in the historical record.

We will use our words, spoken and written, to illuminate the stories of the self-emancipated. We will approach writing using the technique of speculative non-fiction: taking the bits of...information from the historical record and fleshing them out with imagined details, thoughts, and feelings. (Jess Row, Review of Benjamin Banneker and Us, author Rachel Jamison Webster, NYT Book Review, April 16, 2023).

In this session, Donalyn Miller will share research findings, instructional moves, resources, and programming ideas for promoting wide reading. The day includes work session time to explore resources and collaborate with peers.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various sectors, including education, and school librarians are uniquely positioned to harness its potential.

Participants in this fully online course will start with basic AI concepts and applications to demystify the technology. School librarians and classroom teachers will then learn to identify how they can collaborate to design curricula incorporating AI literacy ensuring students understand both the benefits and ethical considerations of AI technology while developing critical thinking and digital literacy skills. Effective AI policies for schools are essential to address privacy concerns, data security, and the ethical use of technology. In the final modules, participants will explore classroom and schoolwide guidelines to ensure that AI tools are used responsibly.

As AI continues to evolve, it will undoubtedly reshape educational landscapes, making it imperative for school librarians and educators to stay ahead of the curve and prepare students to participate actively in a technology-driven world.

Registrants will be sent registration instructions for the LibraryReady.AI course and the SLS registration code on October 15th. Registration closes on Friday, October 11, 2024.

As part of the course, all participants will meet synchronously via Zoom on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, 4:00 PM-5:00 PM, to engage in a discussion of key takeaways and next steps for working with students. All coursework must be completed in advance of the Zoom session for CTLE credit.
