University of West Georgia

University of West Georgia will collaborate with the University at Buffalo to deliver comprehensive professional development experiences for 80 rural school librarians in their regions, informed by STEM educators, school library leaders, and digital resource experts. Participants will be recruited from rural areas in the states of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. The program will increase the knowledge, skills and abilities of participants for facilitating STEM learning within their respective school libraries. The modules developed through this project will be widely disseminated and will provide a model for teaching school librarians how to support STEM teaching and learning.
