Teacher Education and Collaboration Hub project (TEACH)
Instructional Resources and Technology Services (IRTS) has served an integral role in teacher education on campus. As teacher education continues to evolve, so must we in our use of the space, management of the collection, and provision of services to the benefit of everyone involved in teacher education. The ultimate goal of Rod Library's Teacher Education and Collaboration Hub (TEACH) project is to combine the IRTS Collection and Youth Collection in the IRTS area of Schindler Education Center and to create a hub for teacher preparation and classroom experimentation in this space.
