National STEM Resources: A 2014 Bibliography
Prepared by
Julia H. Cothron, Ed.D.

In her work with strategic planning and advocacy, Dr. Julia Cothron utilizes
a variety of national resources and maintains an on-going bibliography of
national resources, which she updated in February 2014. Check for
additions to Dr.Cothron’s STEM Leader webpage, including this
bibliography, as she continues her STEM volunteer and advocacy work.
