TASC and Poverty Awareness Workshop for Library Staff

Please join me at the Greenwich Free Library on March 2nd beginning at 9:30 am. Krista Conrick, Program Manager for Adult Literacy at WSHWE will lead both presentations.  Come for one or both sessions.

 

TASC:

Come have your questions answered about TASC (Test Assessing Secondary Completion) aka the former GED test.

Please arrive around 9:15 am to settle in and talk to your colleagues. The 1 hour session will begin at 9:30 am.

All library staff and volunteers are welcome.

 

Poverty Awareness:

Hidden below their beautiful surfaces, our communities struggle with issues of poverty.   This workshop examines the reality of poverty in our area and helps us learn effective responses to people of all backgrounds.  Come to develop strategy and skill in showing that we value the worth of all individuals.

Session will begin at 10:45 am

 

RSVPs are appreciated; please email Jennifer Ferriss by Monday February 23, 2015 with the staff names and an email so that I can reach everyone in case of a snow cancellation.  Please let me know which workshop you will attend or if you plan on attending both sessions.
