Our lending library for the G.E.M.S. team consultants is extensive.  We have audio tapes from some of the earliest national conventions and we are thrilled to be able to have such a great record of the best in our business.  Below is a list of the cassettes.  Send us an email with the name and convention year of the tape you want to borrow.  If you are long distance and cannot pick it up at our monthly workshops, we will send it out along with a confirmation email.  The we ask that you confirm that you received it with another email.  Our policy is that you listen and return them within a month so that they can be loaned out to another consultant.  If they have not been returned in a month's time, you will be charged for the tape.  Most of these are NOT replaceable so please keep them cool and dry.  Thank you!

All the tapes are in!!  What would you love to hear?  Brush up on your strong points or work on your weaker areas.  Which ever way it is for you, let us hear from you and send you a tape this month!  Remember shipping to you is FREE!!

 

Would you rather read a book??

 

We have a budding library available for lending as well.  All it costs is the shipping when you return the book to us.  Each month we are trying to read a title and add it to our library.  We hadn't posted anything yet because we were still in the process of reading all the books that we had to lend you.  Now we can say that these are books that we would love to share with you.  Just send us an email and let us know what you want and you will have a month from the date you receive it to send it back to us and let us know that it's coming back.

(Or visit your local library and ask if they have any of these books.  If not, ask if they will add them to their collection.  If you don't ask someone else will get what they want to read with the library's money because the library will still buy books.)

Get pre-printed labels and business checks at the following web sites.  The gold ones labels are nice for the backs of books.  The gold color can make them easier to see than white, and they look very professional.

Educational Consultant Tools

 

www.renlearn.com is a web site with the Accelerated Reader (AR) Tests for sale.  If you sell AR books to a school, they can purchase the tests right from this company.  If the test has been written by an Usborne consultant it is not necessarily an AR book and you will have to check the AR list.  If it in fact is not an AR title you can print out a copy of our test from the EC web site for the school.
