February, 2025 - I have begun a Graduate Certificate program in Library Media. The program is entirely online (well, except for the internship portion) and is being offered through Eastern Washington University.
I intend to use this section of STEAMCurated.com as a digital portfolio of my work and resources throughout the program and possibly beyond.

Course Description:
Future teacher-librarians will demonstrate teaching skills in literacy, collaboration, and integrating information literacy with content curriculum. Students will design lesson plans and a unit that use standards in the content areas, as well as the standards for school librarians and technology literacy standards. Future teacher-librarians will also consider ways that students access technology, including the digital divide and collaborative tools.
Throughout this course the instructor will embed various digital tools to provide opportunities for future teacher-librarians to interact with the platforms as a student, and in turn, integrate into future lessons. Your instructor will also model best practices in the assignments and discussions that promote student agency. .

Course Description:
In this course, teacher-librarians learn leadership and administrator skills. Students gain an understanding of the role the library plays in a democratic society. Focused leadership topics include development, implementation, and evaluation of the school library media program, alongside the management of personnel, information systems, resources, and facilities.
This course increases students’ knowledge and understanding of how librarians are leaders within their school and district to advocate for students and staff. Students gain knowledge of skills necessary to manage resources, understand organizational needs, and collaborate with the stakeholders. Librarians continue to look at issues of resources with a lens for equity.
