School Library Media Practicum Overview
This website will provide instructions to help you prepare to complete your practicum experience. You will receive a syllabus and instructions for all assignments when you register for the course.
About the Practicum
Practicum is the culminating experience for the Instructional Technology School Library Media Certification Program.
- Candidates with Georgia teacher certification should enroll in FRIT 7734 - Practicum in School Library Media (3 credit hours).
- Candidates without Georgia teacher certification and are seeking initial certification should enroll in FRIT 7765 - Clinical Practice in School Library Media (6 credit hours).
The practicum course is a different experience from the other courses in the Instructional Technology program. The course requires a high level of independence as you are transitioning from student to instructional technology specialist and school librarian. The practicum course does not introduce new instructional content. Rather, all of the activities require that you synthesize course skills and knowledge from previous coursework and apply it to a new situation. There will not be instruction of new content in this course.
