FREE CPD Online Events Programme 2024-25
The SLS team is pleased to announce our new FREE Programme of Online Events for 2024-25.
Last year we thoroughly enjoyed welcoming so many teachers, school librarians, governors and members of SLT to our online CPD training sessions and regular Book Chat Sessions.
"I found Book Chat very useful, as I am always looking to improve the selection and range of books in our school library. It's interesting to hear your comments and recommendations on the books and how they can be used to support different subjects within the school curriculum. It's also great to hear about new titles which our pupils might enjoy reading".
Codebreaking and Classification: Effective ways to organise your school library
Tuesday 12 November 3.45pm – 4.45pm (MS Teams)
Join the SLS for this interactive webinar on all aspects of classification and book organisation. From the Dewey Decimal System to fiction arranged alphabetically to genre, we will look at the pros and cons of the most popular ways to organise primary school library collections. The SLS will also introduce participants to the latest edition of the SLS Codebreaker and explain how it is specially designed to help the development of information handling skills in primary schools.
