Description
The graduate certificate in Online Educational Media provides an opportunity for teachers and library media specialists to become proficient in the skills and training needed to administer and manage an effective media program and to develop leadership skills. Students will acquire the subject matter needed to meet the professional educational media standards developed by the Florida Department of Education (FL DOE), the American Library Association (ALA)/ American Association of School Librarians (AASL), and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).
Dr. Judy Lee and the Florida District Media Supervisors identified the Online Educational Media core courses chosen for the certificate program. These courses are designed for untrained teachers and library media specialists who are obtaining library media add-on certification by passing the Educational Media certification examination and who are seeking the academic training needed to successfully perform the duties of public school media specialists.
All educational media courses will be taught online.
