Libraries are a critical component of the school community and provide students with opportunities to learn important reading, research, and communication skills. Librarians also collaborate with and provide support to all teachers. This is a meaningful professional learning opportunity for teachers who are interested in branching out into this dynamic area.

Granite, Salt Lake City, and Davis School Districts provide a Library Media Endorsement program for teachers interested in becoming a school teacher librarian. Library Media teachers must have either a Masters in Library Science or a Library Media Endorsement. 

The program is designed as a cohort of 30 teachers with 10 teachers from each district. Applicants must be fully certified, career status educators. Classes will be taught by highly qualified school library teachers and will be designed to develop highly successful school teacher librarians. The program will take up to 18 months of graduate level work to complete. Credit will be granted through Valley City State University, North Dakota. Courses are $150 (subject to change by VCSU).

Classes in the endorsement program will be taught at schools determined by the district sponsoring the course. They are a mix of live, online, and block formats.

Please complete the following questions and assurances if you would like to be considered for this program. 

Complete this application by March 3, 2023.  Applicants will receive notification of their status by March 24, 2023.
