The New York Times Magazine's 1619 Project and companion curriculum is being used by teachers to change the narrative of American history lessons in the classroom. (SLJ, 10/24/19)


University of Maryland is currently conducting research on Computational Thinking (CT) programming for youth ages 11-18 in libraries and other informal learning spaces such as community centers. We are working to develop a bank of assessment tools that can be used to measure the success of CT programming. If you have hosted a CT program at your institution or are planning to offer a program in the near future, University of Maryland would like to interview you to learn more about your experiences in CT programming and what CT assessment tools we can create to enhance the impact of your programs. You can find more information about this project at https://impact.ischool.umd.edu/<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimpact.ischool.umd.edu%2F&data=02%7C01%7CLancasterC5%40michigan.gov%7C9b4c6302c90e4e15a13108d7690c1cfe%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C0%7C637093373049225064&sdata=Rp5LLJA4mB%2FkVQpNKszrdPVEHxFpM6LjZj9iv7ivlPg%3D&reserved=0>.

Starting a School Outreach Program from Scratch: What Worked, What Didn't, and Everything In Between
A webinar with Clinton-Macomb Public Library's Amy Young and Brittany Wesner
Wednesday, January 15
2:00 PM
We will discuss how Clinton-Macomb Public Library went from little school outreach to developing a streamlined plan that allows us to see over 20,000 students a year.  Specifically, we will focus on how developing curriculum-based, grade specific programs helped us to appeal to teachers and administrators while still attracting students to participate. These strategies can be adapted to serve communities of any size. Additionally, we will talk about the differences between curriculum-based school outreach and relationship-based school outreach as well as how to meet the need of schools from varying socioeconomic backgrounds.

Educating students in STEM areas not only prepares them for successful careers and advanced technical studies, but also for life, by teaching how to think critically and analytically through collaborative, hands-on, problem-solving, and project-based approaches.
Technology and media play an important role in effective STEM education. Students engage in STEM learning in many ways and through an array of different digital tools that provide authentic experiences. Digital tools may include, but are not limited to, digital videos, audio, graphics, games, online assessments, scientific datasets, virtual manipulatives and simulations, and other forms of media. Students learn concepts through these interactive digital resources, all of which enrich student learning by enabling them to comprehend, visualize, and explain difficult concepts. This webinar will focus on how librarians can provide learning experiences in the STEM areas through both formal and informal instruction with digital tools.

The Cutting Edge Librarianship Webinar Series is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and is a project of the University of Michigan School of Information and the Library of Michigan.

Project READY (Reimagining Equity and Access for Diverse Youth) online racial equity curriculum is live and accessible at http://ready.web.unc.edu/.
In 2016, The School of Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the School of Library and Information Sciences at North Carolina Central University, and the Wake County (NC) Public School System (WCPSS) were awarded a three-year Continuing Education Project grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to develop Project READY to address this existing gap in professional development opportunities for youth services library staff.  The curriculum aims to:

  *   introduce youth services library staff to research in areas such as race and racism, critical theory, and culturally responsive or sustaining pedagogy.
  *   establish a shared understanding of foundational concepts and issues related to race, racism, and racial equity.
  *   encourage self-reflection related to race and racial identity for both BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and white library staff in public and school libraries.
  *   amplify the work of practitioners and scholars who are providing inclusive and culturally responsive services for youth of color and Indigenous youth.
  *   provide concrete strategies for creating and/or improving library programs and services for Black youth, Indigenous youth, and children and teens of color.
The curriculum consists of 27 modules, designed to be worked through by individuals or small groups. Modules are organized into three sequential sections. The first section (Foundations) focuses on basic concepts and issues that are fundamental to understanding race and racism and their impact on library services. The second section (Transforming Practice) explores how these foundational concepts relate to and can be applied in library environments. Finally, the third section (Continuing the Journey) explores how library professionals can sustain racial equity work and grow personally and professionally in this area after completing the curriculum.
The curriculum represents the work of 40 researchers, practitioners, administrators, and policymakers, and youth from a variety of racial and cultural backgrounds. It is grounded in the work of scholars of color and Indigenous scholars who have thought and written about issues related to institutional and individual racism, equity, inclusion, and social justice.
