Would you like to work in a K-12 school as a school librarian but do not have a New Jersey teaching certificate?  New Jersey City University’s School Library Media Specialist Program is offering the “Summer Accelerated Alternate Route Program”, which will give you the gateway requirements to complete the State-mandated coursework for School Library certification. 

Classes meet on four Saturdays (May 30, June 13, June 27, and July 11) from 9:00 to 3:00 at the Communiversity.  The face-to-face meetings are supplemented by online instruction.    

You will receive 9 graduate credits for the three courses—and the added benefit is that when you take all three courses, you will get a 10% discount in the tuition.  The three graduate courses are: 

• Educational Theory and Curriculum Design for the School Library Media Specialist (EDTC 647)

• Student Learning Development and Behavior Management for the School Library Media Specialist (EDTC 648)

• Teaching Methodologies for the School Library Media Specialist (EDTC 649)

Interested in working in a K-12 school as a school librarian?  Call Dr. Cordelia Twomey, Chairperson, at 201 200-2545 or ctwomey@njcu.edu for more information about this unique summer opportunity.
