We have been offering our pre-requisite course, Development of Libraries in Society each fall and spring for several years. After some deliberate consideration, we are going to begin offering it in the fall (one class currently in progress) and in the summer. There have been numerous teachers who wish to begin the school library media program in the summer, and our pre-requisite course has not be available.
If you know of people interested in beginning our program, please pass the word that this foundational course will be offered this coming summer of 2010. It will continue to be an online course taught by Christy Payne, and it will run during the seven and one-half week session.
We’ll evaluate this particular sequence to see if it better suits out candidates.
