If you cannot attend either of these sessions, we will post the links to the recorded sessions on ALMO and open a special session is STIPD so that you can still receive credit for viewing the recording. Please do not sign up for a live session if you intend to listen to the recording. I will make the session and post the recordings AFTER the live sessions have ended.

*Note…recorded session are only open for PD Credit until time for the next First Friday. We will leave the links up for your convenience but you will not receive STIPD credit after the date of the following First Friday. For example, we will take down the recorded October STIPD session on Thursday, November 1^st because the next First Friday is Nov. 2^nd.

Also, we now have a new email address for Library Media – LibraryMedia@alsde.edu . Dede and I can both check this email and this will hopefully make our communication to you quicker.

We sent out a survey to find out what you really wanted to know about the CCRS and have heard back from some of you – Thanks! To the others, please take a moment and let us know your concerns so that we can make our PD for you as meaningful as possible.

Just ask us and we will bring our “Road Show” to youJ!
