The first cohort of the newly rebuilt Library Media Endorsement is now accepting applicants for the Fall of 2025.  This endorsement program is designed for educators at any level (elementary or secondary) who have an interest in becoming a library tech coach or licensed librarian or in learning about library media topics. 

The new endorsement program is fully aligned with the State competencies and will consist of six courses (all held during the school year on Monday evenings).  Each course will be 3 credits ($150 per course through Valley City State University), meaning participants who complete the endorsement will earn a total of 18 credits. 

The structure of the courses has also changed; now participants will attend five in-person classes and complete four asynchronous online modules in between in-person sessions.  Three courses will be offered each year – one for fall, winter and spring, each lasting roughly 9 weeks.  The practicum portion of the endorsement is now embedded within each course to make completion more manageable.
