Introduction to Advancing Leadership in Informal STEM Learning
You’ll see that we are interspersing the professional development with the Pushing the Limits program scheduling, which is a different model than we used for the first PD and program series. In brief, you will begin by deepening your knowledge about ISL and libraries in Units Seven and Eight and then implement two Pushing the Limits programs, “Tradition” and “Transformation.” After you offer these programs, you continue to build STEM programming skills in Units Nine and Ten as you plan and implement two more Pushing the Limits programs, “Motion” and “Heritage.” Units Eleven and Twelve, which will begin after you have implemented the “Motion” and “Heritage” programs, will provide you with opportunities and directions to create additional ISL programs at your library.
