Rethinking Our Assumptions about Storybooks and STEM
Description
In December of 2019, AV巴士 and the University of Notre Dame convened a group of 21 early childhood reading, family learning, and informal STEM education experts to explore the role of children鈥檚 fiction books as a tool for supporting STEM learning with young children and their families. Participants included educators and researchers from across the country representing a broad range of learning contexts, professional roles, audience focus areas, and STEM discipline expertise.Through the discussions, the group developed a series of recommendations for future work, with a particular focus on integrating diversity and equity perspectives into the use of storybooks for family STEM learning.
