U of I Seeking Teacher Librarian Grant Program Candidates
Dear Administrator:
The University of Iowa School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) is now recruiting the second cohort of 20 students into its Teacher Librarian Grant Program. Students will earn a Master’s Degree in Library and Information Science and receive training in the skills necessary to effectively operate today’s school library programs. This cohort will begin classes in the summer of 2009.
A federal grant will provide a $15,000 stipend over the two-year period of enrollment to pay tuition and fees. Most course work will be delivered through distance education systems. Students will be required to attend an on-campus class component in the summer and one each semester they are in the program. Students will be responsible for costs in excess of the stipend provided for tuition, books, travel, supplies and other expenses.
Please encourage teachers whom you think would be good candidates and good teacher librarians to apply for this program. Those interested in applying should visit the IMLS Teacher Librarian link on the School of Library and Information Science Web site at http://slis.uiowa.edu. Applications are due February 1, 2009. Contact information for Jim Elmborg, the Director of the SLIS program, is available on the Web site.
