[Reforma_or] Request for Proposals: ALSC Cultural Competency Training

[Katie Anderson]

I thought some of you might be interested in the opportunity to create and present a webinar on diversity, equity, and inclusion sponsored by ALA's Association for Library Services to Children. Webinar instructors are compensated $100 for webinar development (to be split between all presenters). Online course instructors are compensated $700 for course development and 15 percent of registration fees for their first session; following sessions are compensated at 20 percent of student registration fees. Fees are $115 for ALSC members, $165 for ALA members and $185 for nonmembers. --Katie

Cultural Competency/Diversity Training

Request for Proposals



In 2015, ALSC introduced a revised version of the Competencies for Librarians Serving Children in Public Libraries. These revised competencies place a significant emphasis on serving children and families from diverse cultural backgrounds. Moreover, among the goals listed in the 2017-2020 ALSC Strategic Plan is the development of an online cultural competency training to be made available for members of the division.



The ALSC Education Committee is looking for presenters for online webinars relating to equity and understanding social identifiers such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religion, ability, size, age, and more. The committee also invites proposals for additional topics related to diversity and inclusion.



Some example objectives for webinars might include (but are not limited to):

•             Participants will be able to explain how social and cultural factors

impact the emotional, behavioral, social, and literacy development of children.

•             Participants will be able to explain strategies for supporting

culturally competent library service to children, including strategies for programming and collection development.

•             Participants will be able to name and describe various systems of

discrimination such as classism, racism, and ableism.

•             Participants will be able to articulate the importance of enacting

culturally competent library service to children.



If you are interested in presenting a webinar, proposals may be submitted to http://www.ala.org/alsc/online-education-proposal.



ALSC webinar presenters are compensated $100 for developing the webinar.



Questions may be submitted to ALSC Education Committee Co-Chairs Rachel Reinwald (rreinwa2 at gmail.com<mailto:rreinwa2 at gmail.com>) or Danielle Hartsfield (danielleforest at gmail.com<mailto:danielleforest at gmail.com>).
