Excite Project - Survey of School Librarians

The CT State Library is developing a grant application to the Institute of Museum and Library Services for a professional development program to teach innovation and collaboration skills to librarians. We've tested the project design with a pilot cohort of teams from seven public libraries. We’d love to include school librarians in the larger IMLS project and would appreciate your feedback on the best way to do that.

We’ve found that this training works best and has a better chance of being sustained when librarians attend in teams. For school librarians, your two-person team may consist of a classroom teacher from your building, or a library aide or volunteer, or another collaborative partner.

Because the project would be funded through a grant (we hope), there would be no registration fees. The participants would just have to get themselves to the training location each day (probably Middletown) and feed themselves lunch. 

In addition, we hope to be able to offer seed funding of between $500 and $1000 per school for teams to implement the new ideas they develop during the training process.
