Using STEAM activities, this book places school librarians at the intersection with inquiry in an elementary school. Learners will think like a scientist and design like an engineer using an iterative process to make authentic learning connections and develop a growth mindset. Designed to be completed in 30-minute class periods, 14 scaffolded STEAM activities allow school librarians to easily shift the same lesson between classes and grade levels. National School Library Standards alignments with STEAM content area standards promote instructional partnerships focused on teaching inquiry, collaboration, and learner-driven exploration, making STEAM a perfect approach for the elementary school library. An invaluable timesaver, this resource provides

activities scaffolded for grade bands K-2, 3-4, and 5-6, engaging learners at greater levels of complexity or cognition;
alignments to the AASL Standards Framework for Learners, the Next Generation Science Standards, and the National Core Arts Standards;
science background for school librarians and other educators who may be unfamiliar with the STEAM concepts being explored;
sample assessments, technology integration, collaboration and growth mindset tips, suggested picture books, and more.

This tool will inspire school librarians and other educators to create opportunities to engage in STEAM practices, collaboratively writing and assessing their own scaffolded lesson plans.

Industry Reviews

"Elementary school librarians who want to get their students thinking like scientists and designing like engineers should turn to Rinio's collection of STEAM lessons. Mindful that library classes are often constrained by a 30-minute time frame and by frequent change of grade levels, Rinio has developed easily scaffolded lessons around a central topic ... Incorporating STEAM in the library will stimulate curiosity in students, leading librarians to a wealth of opportunities to foster lifelong learners. Highly recommended for elementary school librarians seeking to prioritize STEAM."
