2019 MASL Summer Professional Development Workshops

Diversity: Creating an Inclusive Environment in the School Library

Members of MASL’s Board of Directors presented two workshops that centered on creating an inclusive environment in your school library by focusing on topics in literature and learning such as race, gender, religion, orientation, culture, and abilities. The workshops also covered the awareness of concepts such as implicit bias, microaggression, and stereotypes. Participants learned through interactive activities and discussions and received tools and tips on how to better diversify their collections.
