Literature Lounge


Featured Program: Literature Lounge
It’s here! In collaboration with Worthington Libraries and Worthington City Schools, ITSCO is excited to bring the Literature Lounge, a new professional development series for K-12 teachers, to our members. Beginning in September, teachers will be able to take part in a series of seven literature talks offered via interactive video conferencing (IVC). Each Book Talk presented by Worthington Libraries will be approximately one hour long and will introduce and review noteworthy books for students. Check out the schedule below to see which Book Talks interest you.
In addition, teachers looking to further their experience or receive graduate credit will be able to choose one of the highlighted books to complete an online book study. Participants will learn how to incorporate emerging technologies to create an interesting and fun book study with their students. Visit us on the web at www.itsco.org for more information.
