Looking to be a teacher librarian?

Library - helpdeskFor students who wish to be a teacher librarian, particular courses need to be undertaken to fulfil this requirement.

This program has been developed and will continue to evolve with the brilliant assistance and communication that we have with the Department of Education and Children's Services (DECS) and the School Libraries Association of South Australia.

Meetings are held to discuss issues surrounding required curriculum to enable you to obtain a qualification for  teacher librarianship at the highest standard.  Information has also been provided to use to promote to you the DECS Retraining Support Scheme.

The following restrictions apply if you wish to obtain a qualification as a teacher librarian. As more information comes to hand it will be uploaded to this page:

  • you must already be a qualified teacher
  • the existing elective in the Graduate Diploma must be replaced by
    LIBR 5013 Reading for Learning and Leisure with a focus on children's and adolescent literature
  • the in-service project will need to be completed within a School library

Project information

The project is to be undertaken in a School environment with the Principal or School Librarian as your client.  Please read the information about Projects before commencing.
