Description:
Connected Learning is an innovative approach to youth learning that is based on the principle that learning happens best when it is interest-driven, peer supported, and academically oriented. Cuyahoga County (Ohio) Public Library system has spent several years developing rich, outcomes-based programs, and creating a sustainable pool of volunteers with STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) backgrounds. Learn how the connected learning model has been implemented at Cuyahoga County Public Library’s 27 branches and how you can implement similar programming in your library.
