Series of Professional Development Interactive Sessions
WASHINGTON, DC--The Partnership
for a Nation of Learners (PNL), a leadership initiative
of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and the
Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), will
sponsor a series of five, monthly one-hour professional
development Interactive Sessions designed to help local museums,
libraries and public broadcasters work collaboratively
to address local needs.
The Interactive Sessions build on the highly successful
Partnership for a Nation of Learners Community Collaboration
Videoconference in November 2005. Approximately 2000 public
broadcasters, librarians, museum professionals and community
representatives participated in the video conference at
72 sites across the country -- all focused on how to work
together to leverage their assets and address community
needs. The schedule for the Interactive Sessions is as follows:
January 19, 2006 1:00-2:00 PM, ET
PNL Professional Development Interactive Session One: “Getting
Started with Community Collaboration”
This first Interactive Session will explore the genesis
of collaboration, the benefits of partnering and the identification
of each organization’s most valuable assets. Through
practitioner presentations, discussion and question and
answers, participants will broaden their understanding
of a collaborative project’s initial phase.
