Librarians' role
Elementary Librarians

Middle & High School Librarians
- for school certification: 3 lessons taught across 3 entire grade levels
- if you decide to teach 1 lesson across grades 6-8, your school would be 1/3 of the way to certification
- have a conversation with building MIEs & building admin/leadership as to your plan for obtaining certification (which is required as part of device access through planned obsolescence)
- others in building may already be teaching CSM lessons-i.e. Computer Apps, FACTS, Human Growth & Development
