Marshall University’s program has been reviewed and recognized by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and American Association of School Librarians (AASL) as a School Librarianship Education Program.
Marshall University’s School Library Media certification program prepares school librarians to manage school library media centers, collaborate with other faculty to support the school curriculum and facilitate information literacy among students. The three important functions for school library media specialists recommended in the American Library Association publication entitled Information Power (teaching, information access and program administration) are addressed throughout the program.
As a certification endorsement program, initial teaching certification is required. The program requires the completion of 24 hours, including a 3-hour clinical experience, and passing the Library Media Specialist Praxis II Test. Certification is for K-12.
For more information on Marshall University’s Online Master of Arts Degree in Elementary or Secondary Education with School Library Media area of emphasis, see http://www.marshall.edu/muonline/mae/.
Students must apply for admission to the Marshall University Graduate College.
