Wouldn’t it be great if we could all sit and talk about expectations for students, that pertain to research and writing?
How do you think your students could be better prepared for the papers and projects they encounter at your grade level?
Do you have a clear idea of what research and writing skills your students need to be successful at the next grade level?
How can the librarians at your institution or in your town work with you to ready your students for research? Are you and your students taking full advantage the services they offer?
Mount Wachusett Community College Library has received funding from the Central Massachusetts Regional Library System and the MWCC College Access and Preparation Program in order to host a day-long summit, at which librarians and educators will have an opportunity to discuss their common concerns and strategize on ways to best prepare their students as they proceed through the educational system and into the workforce. Central Massachusetts public libraries, elementary, middle and high schools as well as two and four-year schools are invited to participate in this unique opportunity to dialogue with colleagues, and discuss such topics as information literacy and writing and research across the curriculum.
Please plan to participate in this event scheduled for June 8th at MWCC. If at all possible, invite someone else from your institution to register as well - whether it be a faculty member, writing program director, dean, etc., the more voices we bring to this day, the richer and more powerful the conversation and potential results. Please find additional information plus the online registration form at: http://www.cmrls.org/CE/mycollegefreshman.html
Hope to see you next month!
