Big6 Workshops and Big6 Academy

Posted on November 5th, 2008 by Sue Wurster


“I feel so motivated to go back and get started. I already know which
teachers will help me implement Big6.”

1. Big6 ONSITE WORKSHOPS

Host a Big6 Trainer at Your School

This is our most popular option for Big6 Training. Onsite Big6 Workshops are available throughout the year, and we have a range of presenters and pricing to fit almost any situation.

“Classroom teachers will realize that library is NOT AN ADD-ON.  Information literacy through library is an essential part of their students’ education.  Furthermore, they will learn how information literacy can increase learning on THEIR classroom, subject area units and assignments (and even state tests). Lastly, they will learn how to implement information literacy skills in an efficient way - so it is NOT more work for them.  Increased performance - efficient delivery: that’s the Big6 Information Literacy through Libraries program.” — Mike Eisenberg.
