Professional development is a key component of the C2L-PHL program. Teen Leadership Assistants must actively participate during in-branch meetings, in-person trainings, and self-directed learning in order to meet the obligations of this program.
Please contact LEAP staff at leap@freelibrary.org if you have questions about these professional development requirements.

Self-Directed Learning
Self-Directed Learning
Choose your own professional development track this semester. Complete one activity per week until you achieve BINGO!
For a professional development course that includes a variety of different topics, you can follow paths for new TLAs, returning TLAs, or for college bound Juniors and Seniors. Or, you can choose to focus on specific topics such as sharpening your career readiness, improving your financial literacy, or developing stronger study skills.
To complete an activity, click on the BINGO! square and follow the instructions on the worksheet. Hyperlinks are in green text. Discuss what you did and learned with your Supervising Librarian. Ask them to sign your board when you get BINGO!
Bring your signed BINGO! board to the closing in-person session on December 13th for an additional reward and to have your name entered into a raffle drawing!
Self-directed professional development should take you about 1 hour per week throughout the C2L semester. Completion of this portion of your professional development must take place outside of your scheduled work time with LEAP youth, but should preferably take place at your assigned library.
