Our flexible program is perfect for individuals or school divisions seeking school librarianship preparation for a group of candidates.
Our program focuses on collaboration, leadership and technology, preparing students to implement a fully integrated school library program. Each cohort enrolls 15-20 students ranging in age from 20-something to 60+, providing unlimited opportunities to network, share research, swap ideas, and present and publish with others in the field.
