Professional Development
I can use the professional tools and online
learning tools available through ALSC and YALSA to develop myself
professionally. I could attend the ALSC
National Institute, though the dates for the current year are not set. The ALSC National Institute in 2012 took
place in Indianapolis from September 20 to 22.
Through the Virginia Library Association, I could
attend the professional conference or the paraprofessional conference, though
the costs are not listed for either of them.
The paraprofessional conference is May 19 to 21 and the professional
conference is September 25 to 27.
I could attend the 26th Annual
Conference on Children’s Literature, which takes place April 26 in
Florida. The only cost that I can see is
the one of traveling to Florida and the parking fee, which is $1.25 per
hour. No conference fee is listed.
Other resources that would help me in my
professional development are webinars offered by the organizations mentioned,
graduate classes, volunteer experiences, and web tutorials. The technology available today allows individuals
to learn anything they wish to from the internet. They simply have to know how to find the
resources available.
