Wednesday 22nd October 10 – 11am
Have you noticed an increase in requests/visits from home educators? Are you wondering how to engage further with families whose children are educated outside of school?
Nicky McIntosh will share insights from recent research with these audiences, how they can benefit from libraries and how libraries can be most effective and welcoming.
We will explore the following themes and activities:
- Landscape of home education in the UK & growing demand
- Different types of non-school education
- Barriers to school attendance
- What non-school audiences need
- Getting started: how to build this audience
- Good practice from the UK and US
This webinar is aimed at anyone working within a library, cultural, heritage or learning environment or interested in improving interactions with home educators.
