| Practicum for Endorsement Option Students |
|
| |
|
| Students who already hold a valid
Instructional I or II Teaching Certificate from the Pennsylvania
Department of Education (PDE) may enroll in the School Library Certification
Program Endorsement Option and be recommended for additional
certification in Library Science K-12 upon completing graduation
and certification requirements. These students must complete
a three-credit practicum (LIS 2922) near the end of their
MLIS program.
The practicum experience encompasses several types of
learning experiences designed to help students apply and
master competencies over the fifteen-week term:
- Completion of 25 days of concentrated teaching
and management experience in an elementary or secondary
school library media center under the direction of
an experienced school library media specialist who serves
as a Cooperating Teacher Librarian; (This practicum is
not the equivalent of a student teacher working full
time under the direction of a supervising teacher over
the course of a term.);
- Participation in weekly seminars
on specific topics related to teaching and providing
services to students, collaboration with teachers,
and program management;
- Reading and participation in
weekly electronic reflections relating practicum experience
to aspects of the weekly seminar topics. Pitt’s
Web-based Courseweb serves as the medium of communication
among students and with instructor;
- Participation in
a day-long field trip (on campus students).
