Partnership Sponsors Series of Professional Development Web Casts
WASHINGTON, DC--The Partnership for a Nation of Learners (PNL), a
leadership initiative of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB)
and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), will sponsor a
series of five, monthly one-hour professional development web casts
designed to help local museums, libraries and public broadcasters work
collaboratively to address local needs.
The web casts build on the highly successful Partnership for a Nation of
Learners Community Collaboration Videoconference in November 2005.
Approximately 2000 public broadcasters, librarians, museum professionals
and community representatives participated in the video conference at 72
sites across the country -- all focused on how to work together to
leverage their assets and address community needs. The schedule for the
web casts is as follows:
January 19, 2006 1:00-2:00 PM, ET
PNL Professional Development Web Cast One: "Getting Started with
Community Collaboration"
This first web cast will explore the genesis of collaboration, the

question and answers, participants will broaden their understanding of a
collaborative project's initial phase.
