The Evangelical Lutheran Education Association (ELEA) is in the process of establishing a low-cost rental library of training materials. Schools and centers will be able, for a nominal fee, to check out videos and accompanying training materials for use in in-service training with staff, parenting programs, board training, etc.

Although ELEA is still in the acquisition stage, titles already secured include:

Master Teacher Video Series on Critical Thinking

This is just a sampling of what will soon be available. The next issue of Views & Vision will include more detailed information, and ELEA members will be receiving a catalog & ordering information in the next few months. Non-members of ELEA will be able to rent videos at a higher rate than members—another good reason to join!

We are asking your help in recommending titles, particularly in two categories: 1) Administrator Resources, and 2) Faith Development & Nurturing. If you are familiar with any particular videos or vendors in these areas, or if you have particular titles you would like to see included in this library, please contact Gayle Denny, National Director for Resources, ELEA, 800-500-7644 or ELEANational@cs.com.
