From Collection to Curation

The inaugural Network Resources Workbee undertook a thorough collective review of existing ISW and FDW materials in 2024. They assessed 1,290 unique resources with a focus on relevance, accessibility, copyright, and sustainability. 

From this work, the Workbee developed a rubric for evaluating and organizing shared Network resources, and proposed an organizing framework to support both existing and future materials.

The result is a living collection: a curated, organized set of ISW and FDW resources that will be maintained and updated over time. The collection is accessible to registered ISW Facilitators and FDW Trainers when they log into their respective accounts on the website. 

This curation effort is ongoing, and the Network is grateful to everyone who has contributed to it.
