THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED! Family Engagement Game for Change Event

Event Timing: July 24, 2019   1-3 pm

Event Address: Minot Sleeper Library – Bristol NH

Let’s get together for a few hours and try an interesting professional learning approach—gaming. Join me in Bristol on July 24th to play the Global Family Research Project’s “Family Engagement Game for Change.” The game is based on the five family engagement processes called the 5Rs (see download). Let’s tackle some problems together, use strategic thinking, collaborate with others and learn from each others failures and successes.

Register here: https://forms.gle/5VoiQ4fFs6etzJvT6

If you have a family engagement dilemma that is happening or happened at your library—I would love to have you share it with me for the game. Many thanks!!
