School librarians must add value to a school and contribute directly to the
school’s goals and priorities. CU Denver’s School Library program is a
nationally recognized NCATE-AASL Revised & Approved School Library Media Education program that leads to Colorado State endorsement for school librarians. The
degree will prepare you with the information-technology, pedagogy, and
leadership skills you need to help students and teaching colleagues succeed and
adapt to the demands of today’s world of information and technology.
In your
courses, you will learn about integrating information and learning strategies,
school library management, collection development, collaborative planning,
learning technologies, and instructional leadership. You will experience resource-based
learning that is immediately applicable to your work. You will complete the
