SCHOOL LIBRARY MEDIA
INITIAL LICENSURE
The School Library Media Initial Licensure
concentration is designed for individuals
who hold a Baccalaureate degree in any
discipline and wish to become a school
library media specialist. Passing scores
on Praxis I, or an equivalent SAT score,
are required for admission to the program.
Coursework prepares individuals to meet
the varied roles required of a school
library media specialist in the 21st
century—the roles of information
specialist, instructional partner,
teacher, and program administrator. The
concept of the library media specialist as
a catalyst for academic achievement is
emphasized, as is the importance of
helping our preK-12 students become
information literate, independent,
lifelong learners. Collaboration,
leadership, and technology are themes
which run throughout the program.
Upon successful completion of the program
and attainment of passing scores on the
Virginia Communication and Literacy
Assessment (VCLA), candidates meet current
eligibility requirements for the Virginia
Postgraduate Professional License with an
endorsement in Library Media preK-12 as
well as earn a Master of Science from
Longwood University.
