Dear Colleagues,

Please see the attached flyer and consider applying to participate.

The School Librarians Facilitating the Success of English Language Learners pre-forum will be held online on May 28^th , the Forum itself is offered both virtual and face to face at the University of North Texas in Denton on June 10^th, and an online post-forum date TBD.

The purpose of the Forum is to build the capacity of school librarians to provide services for ELLs. We are seeking experts from the school library community and ELL stakeholders, such as linguists, ELL community members, public librarians, educational technologists, teachers, and school administrators. The anticipated outcomes are to:

Create a toolkit with resources and research-based strategies that school librarians can use for working with ELLs.
Develop a white paper with an action plan for future school librarian training and serving ELLs in school libraries.

The forum is funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The project partners are the University of North Texas and the International Association of School Librarianship. We anticipate funding 24 participants. Funded participants will receive a stipend, lodging, and travel. We seek to recruit participants nationwide who represent diverse backgrounds, cultures, positions, and demographics.

Please share this information with your classroom teacher colleagues and school administrators and encourage them to apply as well.
