TASL Webinars

 

TASL is excited to begin offering our members webinar opportunities for convenient online professional development. Webinars will be hosted by TASL members or special guest presenters. We hope to offer two options each month, and most webinars will last between 30 minutes to an hour. Participants who tune into the live webinar will receive a certificate of attendance, though PD credit is up to the discretion of your school or district.

 A Conversation with Jessica Young 
 Award-winning author Jessica Young will discuss her new picture book I'll Meet You in Your Dreams, illustrated by Rafael López, and provide activities with cross-curricular connections that will spark students' imaginations. She'll also share her new early reader series, Fairylight Friends, illustrated by Marie Vanderbemden, and discuss the TN Arts Commission STS Grants, which allow TN public schools to host author visits (virtual or in-person). This webinar will include a Q&A portion. Jessica will also be awarding copies of her books as door prizes.
