Current Course Description: Provides practical experience in the roles and responsibilities of the library media specialist at the secondary level. Students receive instruction through observation and guidance from an on-site mentor library media specialist and a WOU faculty supervisor. Note: Lib 609 must be taken twice: once at the elementary level, and once at the secondary level. Note: Prerequisites for LIB 609 are: 1) obtaining a passing score on the ED /Library Media PRAXIS test, and 2) completing at least the 12 credits of LIB 670, LIB 671, LIB672, & LIB 673 towards the endorsement. |

New Course Description: Provides practical experience in the roles and responsibilities of the library media specialist at the secondary level. Students receive instruction through observation and guidance from an on-site mentor library media specialist and a WOU faculty supervisor. Note: Lib 609 must be taken twice: once at the elementary level, and once at the secondary level. |
|
Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): Prerequisites have been removed because students will be required to take one of their two practica at a basic level, early in their program, and their other practicum as a Final, after completing coursework and passing the PRAXIS exam. Students will choose which practicum (elementary or secondary) to complete at the Final level based on their current placements and/or their career preference. Prerequisites for the Final practicum will therefore be handled through advising and placement procedures. |

Students/Program affected: Students in the Education Media Endorsement Program. |
