The Right Book @ The Right Time is coming together. Will probably be a 3 hour seminar 5-8 PM on a weekday evening in January at the Jewish Community Library of Los Angeles, light dinner to be served. Taught and facilitated by Claire Austin. Claire Austin, an internationally recognized educational consultant, specializes in the creative use of literature for children. In 1994 she founded Imaginative Resources for Children(SM), an innovative service that critically evaluates books to help children through challenging times. In addition to working as a bibliotherapist, she has developed therapeutic libraries for hospitals, schools and children's agencies; designed multicultural education; planned programs to promote emergent literacy in children at risk of reading failure; created exhibitions of literature to promote children's sensitivity to family variety; and, guided the introduction of new media for hospitalized children. Educated at the London School of Economics and Cambridge University (in the United Kingdom) and at UCLA (in the United States) Claire now evaluates children's literature and resources to advise on materials with which to best support and educate children facing life challenges. =========================================================== Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
