During the 2017-2018 academic year the Digital Human Library team of Provincial Curators* designed and developed a new dHL Curator Partnership Program. The focus of our work is to engage teacher librarians and teachers passionate about libraries throughout Ontario, and in provinces and territories across Canada in the process of building new community partnerships to support teaching and learning in our schools and regions.
Join us and learn more about how you can build a stronger community of partnerships for your school and region while also contributing to your own professional learning and growth.
