Libraries Supporting Teacher Collaboration, Student Voice and School Design

This two-day statewide library conference is sponsored by the Hawaii State Department of Education (HIDOE), Office of Curriculum and Instructional Design, School Library Services, in partnership with the Pacific Literacy Consortium.

The purpose of the conference is to equip HIDOE school library staff with tools, strategies and resources that focus on the three high impact strategies of teacher collaboration, student voice and school design to transform school library programs.

Professional development, training and program planning opportunities that grow school library staff knowledge and skills that best support information literacy, pre-k literacy skills, early literacy skills, brain-based learning, and computer science will be provided. Library professional development is aligned to the American Association for School Librarians (AASL) 2017 National School Library Standards and Future Ready Librarians Framework.

Reading in the digital era has impacted the landscape of how we engage with texts. In this session, we will review common digital text accommodations that have been developed with struggling readers in mind. We will discuss varied digital font types and text spacing options, the research behind each, reader perceptions of their impact, and actual impact on reading outcomes. We will also review the guiding principles of reading instruction for struggling readers.
