DESCRIPTION: Class projects will aid with enhancing your technology skills and your leadership skills for licensure/re-certification requirements, job searches, annual evaluations, and advocacy initiatives to increase awareness and support for the role of media programs. School media specialists face multiple demands and ongoing changes in what is expected of school media programs. Opportunities for collegial discussion and interaction are often limited if you work alone in your school. Additional challenges are increased demands of accountability and learning new technology skills. Simultaneously, many media specialists are facing job cuts and need to enhance skills for professional success and program survival. This course is designed for K-12 media specialists and media supervisors with a professional development goal to enhance their career, candidates seeking media licensure, and educators interested in and improving school media programs.
