AASL Professional Development - Online

Concern: 
·We request more AASL Professional Development to be offered on-line and also to be archived to be viewed at a later date.  A robust on-line archive would provide high quality Professional Development to a wide audience. These offerings would also serve as a marketing tool for attracting new members.

·Many of the current synchronous programs are offered during the school day, making it difficult for some school librarians to attend. Program should be offered before and after the school day as well.

·Archived/ asynchronous programs are currently offered at a modestly reduced cost.

·Depending on the immediacy of the content, archived program shall be available to members at no cost.

 Action: The Affiliate Executive Committee did not approve this concern for submission to the Affiliate Assembly body.
