The Panda Book Awards 2011-12

 * READ** some good books
 * SHARE** your thoughts
 * NETWORK** with students from participating schools
 * VOTE** for your favorite.

The Panda Book Award program invites students and teachers from participating international schools in China to vote for their favorite book published in the years 2009-2011. The Panda Book Steering Committee, which includes a countrywide representation of international school librarians, is responsible for collecting input from schools, advertising the initiative, and organizing the voting.

There are four separate title lists according to age level: • Young Readers (4 to 6 years) – picture books - Elementary School • Middle Readers (7 to 10 years) – chapter books - Elementary School • Older Readers (11 to 14 years) – Middle School • Mature Readers (15 to 18 years) – High School

The panda was chosen as the program’s mascot as it holds a special place in the hearts of the Chinese people and is a symbol of peace and a token of forging friendly ties. The Panda Book Award reading program promises to take our students on an exciting reading adventure. Classroom teachers, language arts teachers, and librarians are encouraged to distribute the reading lists to their students and to incorporate them into their daily teaching.


 * How to nominate titles for the 2011-12 list:**


 * Participating schools propose lists of titles representing a range of interest and reading levels. Schools may invite students and teachers to nominate their favorite titles. The lists may include non-fiction and fiction.
 * There is no limit to the number of titles schools can nominate.
 * All titles for the 2011 list must have 2009-2011 copyright.
 * The Panda Steering Committee will select 12 titles for every reading list.
 * There will be four awards: the Young Readers, the Middle Readers, the Older Readers, and the Mature Readers.

Add suggestions to this discussion.

The aim of the steering committee is to choose 12 titles for each of the following categories:


 * Young Readers (4 to 6 years) – picture books - Elementary School
 * Middle Readers (7 to 10 years) – chapter books - Elementary School
 * Older Readers (11 to 14 years) – Middle School
 * Mature Readers (15 to 18 years) – High School

We are calling for volunteers to be part of the Panda steering committee 2011. In order to be an active member it is essential that you are able to attend the following meetings:

April 14, 2011 at the Bookworm in SanLitun in Beijing  April 21, 2011 at International School of Beijing  April 28, 2011 at Western Academy in Beijing

Steering Committee members will have read reviews of the nominated titles in order to make informed decisions.

If you are interested in joining the steering committee, please contact Nadine Rosevear at nrosevear@isb.bj.edu.cn

__April -May 2011__ Each participating school nominates lists of titles. These lists are discussed by the Panda Book Steering Committee who will take into consideration individual schools’ requests. The Steering Committee will decide on the final lists and make these public by mid May. This gives participating schools time to order multiple copies of the titles to arrive over the summer.
 * Time line:**

__July – August 2011__ Librarians may promote the titles through a summer reading program.

__September – January 2012__ Librarians organize reading promotion activities and plan. The Panda Steering Committee organizes the student and teacher voting sessions to be done at the end of the month of January.

__Start of February__ The Steering Committee meets to finalize and confirm the winners of the Panda Book Awards 2010. Winners are contacted as soon as possible.
