Common Core standards, OER, STEM, and collection development-where
to begin? This book investigates these critical topics together to
give you the power to transform your collection and practice and
put your school library at the center of STEM. Curricula that focus
on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) areas
of study aren't just important for furthering competency and
careers in these fields; STEM helps ensure that future generations
include inventive and critical thinkers. Digital resources offer a
current, exciting direction to involve school librarians with their
STEM teachers. With its specific focus on open digital multimedia
learning resources, this book will enable school librarians to take
advantage of this opportunity and evaluate, build, and maintain
their STEM collections. The book comprises three sections: an
overview of policy initiatives; a thorough exploration of STEM
education policy, digital materials, and collection considerations;
and detailed explanations of strategies for collection development
and promotion. You'll learn how to perform a collection analysis to
determine the age and extent of your STEM collections and make
priorities for enriching them with appropriate digital multimedia
resources as well as how to classify resources using Dewey and
Sears and with regard to the Common Core State Standards and the
Next Generation Science Standards. Authored by a former school
administrator and school librarian with 15 years' experience
working on K-12 STEM initiatives Enables school librarians to
understand the nature and importance of STEM as well as the value
of including high-quality, free STEM digital multimedia in library
collections Presents effective strategies for promoting collections
to ultimate beneficiaries including learners, educators, parents,
community members, and, importantly, other school librarians Gives
school librarians specific criteria and sources with which to build
STEM collections that meet national standards for science, health,
technology, engineering, and mathematics as well as to select
resources that cross curriculum areas
