Teacher Librarian Program
The fully online Teacher Librarian program at the San José State University School of Library and Information Science will prepare you for the next step in your teaching career as a library media specialist.
Graduates of the Teacher Librarian program at the SJSU School of Library and Information Science will emerge with a specialization in the functions and skills necessary for employment in K–12 schools including collaboration, technology leadership, and program administration.
As a Teacher Librarian – also referred to as a School Media Specialist – you’ll be a teacher, a librarian, and an instructional partner.
SJSU SLIS students can pursue both their teaching credential and Master of Library and Information Science degree! Teacher Librarianship is one of the exciting career pathways SLIS students can follow within our MLIS program accredited by the American Library Association.
The Teacher Librarian coursework is approved by the National Commission for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) and meets the requirements for the California Teacher Librarian Services Credential.
If you are interested in a Teacher Librarian credential from a state other than California, you should check with that state's Department of Education for their requirements before undertaking this program to make sure the SJSU SLIS courses are accepted by that state.
