That, however, was association-led, and probably had a lot of money behind it. Is that the sort of momentum that is needed for STEM learning for libraries? Or might individual libraries who are heavily involved in STEM best practices feel a responsibility to give their staff time and opportunities to go out and do such trainings? I think there's a big difference between an association investing time and resources in this type of endeavor versus a library taking on that cost itself. And there's the requisite building of momentum, staff power, and funding that goes with both; it takes significant numbers of people and amounts of money to cull together a definitive resource and to go out and train; whose investment should that be? I'm not sure.

Couldn't we do that with STEM since it's also part of early learning? Train a core group who then train others at conferences who then train others in communities and so on.Heather McNeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10845443422441183291noreply@blogger.com
