Reimagining School Readiness ProjectIn 2021 NH joins 12 other states in Year 2 of the The Bay Area Discovery Museum (BADM), in collaboration with the Pacific Library Partnership (PLP) and the California State Library (CSL), in a train-the-trainer program to equip librarians with the resources to help families and children ages 0-8 prepare for success in school and in
life. The Reimagining School Readiness Toolkit is a set of free, online research-backed school readiness activities and resources designed to provide librarians with strategies and downloadable content for caregivers to prepare children for school. WHY This Aligns With Early Learning in New Hampshire: This research based program aligns with NH's play-based model of learning for Kindergarten adopted in 2018. https://www.education.nh.gov/who-we-are/deputy-commissioner/kindergarten-tool-kit |
This training was offered free of charge through a generous grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services as a part of a broader effort to disseminate the toolkit nationally. The toolkit was developed by the Bay Area Discovery Museum in collaboration with the California State Library and the Pacific Library Partnership.
