Sharing news for Jackie Hawke on behalf of the Children's Book Council of Australia, with permission,
HI All -
Just to mention a few of the myriad possibilities to link with excellent Australian Children's Literature and aspects of the categories for the Notables leading up to the 2016 Books of the Year - at the
READ : Myriad Possibilities
CBCA National Conference
May 19 - 21 in Sydney.
It is the aim of the conference committee to provide a stimulating, varied and inspiring program that will feature the best Australian children’s book creators. It will also provide a forum for discussion and debate, especially as Quality Literature is central to the Australian English Curriculum.
Speakers and sessions will cover:
-literature and drama
-picture books - words and images
-graphics
-aspects of mainstream and self-publishing
-stories to screen
-folk and fairytales
-poetry
-musical links
-internet and non-fiction
-young adult literature
-Indigenous literature
-writing for a better world
-birthday celebrations for CBCA and the School Magazine
Many familiar faces on both sides of the imagination processes will share aspects of reading, writing and creating - hopefully including you!
If you have loved the excitement of the recently announced Notables, be sure to be part of the announcement of the 2016 Short List at the conference as we head towards Book Week 2016 with Australia: Story Country.
The Conference is a Teacher Identified Professional Learning Course. It may address the following
Australian Professional Standards for Teachers: 3.3.2 – Using teaching strategies; and 3.4.2 – Select and use resources. Further details http://nsw.cbca.org.au/news.php/116/2016-national-conference-stop-press

What's not to love about children's literature - and even better to share at the CBCA (Children's Book Council of Australia) National Conference in Sydney!
Hope to see you there.
Cheers- Jackie
