The "School Librarians Advancing STEM Learning" (SLASL) project, supported by IMLS, and in partnership with Granite State College, NH, kicks off Year 2 of the Faculty Fellows, with 8 Fellows, and the project team, May 18, 2016.
Outlines faculty engagement in year two of “School Librarians Advancing STEM Learning," a 3-year project (2015-2017), supported by a grant from IMLS, with the goal to extend a proven collaborative model to reach pre-service and in-service school librarians--and their STEM teacher colleagues as well as faculty in teacher education programs--in accelerating school librarian instructional expertise and leadership.
Educators identify a standard, deconstruct its elements, and share understanding with other educators. They then suggest a design for instruction and create a educational resource to support the teaching and learning of the standard.
This template provides an approach for creating a STEM investigation that includes text-based inquiry to build student STEM literacy skills. It is populated with examples and resources to support your authoring. The template was created to support library media specialists and STEM teacher cohorts in year two of the School Librarians Advancing STEM Learning project, led by the Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management (ISKME) in partnership with Granite State University, New Hampshire, and funded by the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS). Educators who chose to remix this template will trade out example language with their own language and design.
