Teen Health & Wellness: Introductory Workshop
for whom:anyone
date:Thursday, April 16, 2009
time:4:30 pm-6:30 pm
location:Fox St.- 3rd Flr. North- Conference Room
notes:Join your library colleagues for a 90 minute workshop presentation on Rosen Publishing’s award-winning database Teen Health & Wellness: Real Life, Real Answers.
 
Lauded by both the Library Journal and School Library Journal as the place to go for information about physical and mental health, eating disorders and fitness, drugs and alcohol, sexuality and dating, family life, life skills and more, this resource provides answers to the questions most often asked by middle school and high school students.
 
Teen Health & Wellness also provides important curricular support. Developed with a team of experienced health and wellness writers, educators, librarians, and expert reviewers, it contains critical information for research and reports. Articles in the database are closely aligned to Colorado curriculum standards for health, physical education, science, and language arts, as well as to national standards.
 
In this workshop, participants will learn about the site, its audience and content coverage, as well as its relevance for students grade 6-12. A detailed review of the site will provide both an orientation and training. All major features and functionality will be covered, including Lesson Plans, Hotlines, and the Personal Story Writing Project. The workshop will explore in depth the Librarian/ Educator Resources section, including outreach tools and program ideas on how to encourage users--students, teachers, guidance counselors, intervention specialists--to take advantage of the database.
