Local educators can discover award-winning resources in the fields of science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) for their K-12 classrooms. The K-12 STEAM Teacher Resource Day will be held in the Alice Hagar Curriculum Center on the 2nd floor of UW-La Crosse Murphy Library from 2-5:30 p.m. Monday, March 10. The program is free of charge; participants may drop in at any time during the session.
This is the eighth in the annual series of programs highlighting science, technology, engineering and math resources, which this year also includes art. The programs are hands-on for educators and students. Participants can browse, read and review award-winning, non-fiction books, DVDs, software and similar resources specifically selected to be relevant to K-12 teachers, librarians, school media center administrators and other educators.
Tim Gerber, UW-L biology professor and organizer of the program, says the day is popular among educators. “The comment I get most often from teachers who have attended the resource day is that they feel so much better prepared to select specific materials that will benefit their classes and their curricula without having to guess,” Gerber says. “It saves them time and money in the long run.”
The books and other materials displayed are purchased by Murphy Library from Science Books & Films’ “Best Lists,” the National Science Teachers Association’s “Outstanding Science Trade Books for Children” and other annual lists. Following the event, the collection is available in the Murphy Library curriculum collection and available year-round for students in the School of Education and others to review.
The program is co-sponsored by UW-L’s Murphy Library and School of Education.
