  • 1.  Free Professional Development on Racial Equity & Access

    Posted 10-28-2020 04:14 PM
    Faculty at UNC-Chapel Hill's School of Information and Library Science recently launched Project READY, a curriculum of free, open-access professional development modules about race and racism, racial equity, and culturally sustaining pedagogy. The primary focus of the Project READY is on improving relationships with, services to, and resources for youth of color and Native youth.

    The curriculum is primarily designed for school and public youth services librarians, library administrators, and classroom teachers, but I think this could be a great resource for museum educators or curatorial professionals-- IMLS is one of the development partners for the project.
