Hi Cathy,
What a great idea! I love all the elements of this proposal but I love most the purposefully planning of services for individuals who are unhoused. This is such a wonderful opportunity to give people skills and training that can carry over to other parts of their lives.
I was thinking that if this is a successful program,…[Read more] -

Hi Hildana,
What a great program! I especially love the idea of combining scheduling with Earth Day that seems like a nature fit but I think that a lot of libraries would miss the opportunity to just hurry up and implement the program. I can see how this program can be expanded to other organizations for collaborations (trade/tech schools,…[Read more] -

Hi Cassie,
I was thinking about the heat and cold from walls of windows as well. I love to have open windows that let in light but direct sunlight could make rooms uncomfortably hot and the reverse in winter time, the lack of insulation could make the rooms cooler than necessary. I also wonder about what damage direct sunlight could do to a…[Read more] -

@ayeouest oh that is such a great idea. It would not be difficult, an Ipad mirrored to a TV maybe? This would be a great addition to like a parent night, too. Parents would enjoy seeing what their kids are producing.

@carlys this made me laugh! You’ve described PD so well I couldd picture being there (probably because I’ve been there). As a teacher I’ve definitely had trouble fully embracing gamification but when I do, it’s always a win. I will always embrace “learning by doing” especially because I love to integrate projects into my classroom. However, I like the idea that maybe more PD plans should be gamified!

@carlys I was so excited when I started reading about the collaborations. That excitement turned to dismay when I realized what you were describing. I love that you have that time set aside and it should totally be about active learning, active problem-solving and active play.
“Why do we expect adults to learn by sitting and not doing, not exploring and not solving problems?”
Yes – this. !!!!
And I learned a long time ago to not read my slides to people, and to use them as a way to jump off. Later, in my on the road, speaking career, I realized much more of my time talking should be spent, listening to other people in the room as wel.

@carlys First of all: yes!! I, too, am hopeful adults will get more encouragement to play. Gamification is a great tool toward that end. Your collaboration experience reminded me of an other-side-of-the-spectrum experience I had at work–we had professional brainstormers come in and teach us the ins and outs of excellent brainstorming. The training was active, positive, and incredibly informative. I had never considered that one could be bad at brainstorming! But so much of it was about fostering the right environment. Not shooting down people’s ideas but building on them. Keeping an open mind. Knowing when to be expansive and when to be reductive. Getting active–you could even game-ify a brainstorm. In any event, I completely agree that staring at screens and death by Powerpoint are not the way.

Wow @ayeouest what an amazing job.
I cannot fathom the amount of history or stories of people who have been marginalized and erased due to ignorance, stereotyping, white-washing or other practices that were not intended to be harmful per se, yet damaged nevertheless.
That the Oakland youth would be involved is such a great idea. It gives some…[Read more] -

Samantha,
I really like the idea of reaching those individuals who are nearly ready to be on their own.
I was very impressed with your timeline break-down. I think it is a great thing to think about programs in broad details such as putting the programs on the calendar but also little details such as calling the day before to confirm…[Read more] -

@caroline Thanks!
That is a great idea for a pay-it-forward scenario. I think that would give an extra meaning to those students who participate in both capacities. To not get on my soap box for too long, I think we can all benefit from more empathy and from putting more kindness and welcoming into the world. I also think that post-COVID kids…[Read more] -

Carly Scarberry commented on the post, Reflection Blog 2: Goodbye Dewey, on the site 2 weeks ago
@nicoler I tend to think of librarians as anarchist in the true sense of the word and I think this is a great example. Dewey didn’t work for this library (lets be honest, it probably never worked for anyone other than Dewey) and the librarians did away with it. Buck the system! FIGHT THE MAN! Do good in the world.

@rcsyme Thanks! As I said in my intro my children have changed schools a lot and there was always so much stress for them involved in the whole process.
Your idea of video-production students mentoring new students is a great idea! -

Carly,
This was beautifully written. The part about being a school librarian and choosing the correct reading materials for developing readers really resonated with me. Years ago I worked with a first grade teacher. I remember one particular incident where he was especially frustrated because he was unable to impress upon a parent the importance of reading WITH her child. The mother was upset because her child was struggling with phonics in school, but “got perfect scores in the reading app”. Contrast this with my mother’s vivid recollection of learning to read for the first time. She was sitting on her fathers knee as he read to her and all of a sudden the letters seemed to rearrange themselves into an order that made sense. I think that’s magical. I think we live in a marvelous age of digital tools, but there really is no substitute for taking the time with a child and sharing the power of stories.

I have conversations with parents of my students on the regular as to “yes we want kids to push themselves and read things that are somewhat challenging BUT its also okay for kids to read on their level just for fun.” Parents of course want their children to be successful but I want children to learn to love to read, also.
The school where I work now has, for the most, part super supportive parents that are engaged with their children and their learning, but some parents do think that schools are supposed to do all the educating.

Hi Samantha,
I like you really gravitated to the idea of “Adulting 101”. All three of my children are within this age bracket and while I tried really hard to teach them all the necessary steps of life, sometimes they text me with “How do I sew on a button” type questions.I have a question about the proposed tech training classes at your…[Read more]

Love the idea of the books are storage containers or shells- great metaphor, and gets right to your point of libraries = stories.
What a beautiful presentation @carlys and kudos to you for stepping out of your comfort zone to create this presentation. You really captured the heart of this course. Thank you for sharing!
