About this webinar
This session is part of the Follett Early Learning Series
Do you enjoy or dread the task of ordering materials for the classrooms in your program? Do you have a process for ensuring the books, manipulatives, digital resources, and other durable materials support your program’s objectives and the standards to which you must adhere? Do you simply take requests from staff members, or order what you ordered last year?
Using a well-defined process for ordering resources with purpose can help your program achieve positive outcomes, but it takes some know-how and practice. Join this webinar by Andrew Davis, Director of Follett Early Learning to learn how you can use Intentional Resource Selection to ensure your program’s materials align with curriculum objectives, students’ ages, interests and needs, and standards. This process, developed by the resource selection teams at Follett, is based on the processes that librarians have been using for hundreds of years to ensure their collections include the best and most relevant resources. This webinar will help you make the challenges of procuring materials for your program more organized, purposeful, and productive.
