PLA Webinar on Serving Teen Parents

Upcoming Webinar Hosted at the SALS Main Office
Join the Facebook Event or please RSVP to Jen Ferriss

Date: August 26, 2015
Time/Location:   2:00–3:00 PM EST at 22 Whitney Place, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866

The Every Child Ready to Read (ECRR) initiative has provided a powerful toolkit for introducing parents to early literacy practices. When those parents also happen to be teenagers, it helps to take a fun-yet-thoughtful approach to programming, lest you lose your audience.

In this webinar, you will learn reliable, time-tested methods for reaching your teen parent population and introducing the Five Practices in a way that is simple, straightforward, and highly interactive.

At the conclusion of this one-hour webinar, participants will:

  • Have a clear understanding of five different “make-and-take” activities that correspond to the five early literacy practices—Talking, Singing, Reading, Writing, and Playing—as promoted by the ECRR initiative; and
  • Gain access to a list of at least ten “best practices” for working with teens, as well as three essential tips to establishing community connections within this special population.

This webinar is intended for anyone who works with or aims to work with their community’s teen parent population including public or school librarians who specialize in youth services, teen services, outreach, early literacy, or other areas. Parents, social workers, teachers, and childcare workers are also welcome.

Instructors:
Xelena Gonzalez, early literacy specialist, San Antonio (Tex.) Public Library
Corinne Sanchez, community services supervisor, San Antonio (Tex.) Public Library
