The Ed.S. in instructional technology, media, and design program consists of two program concentrations: (1) School Library Media and (2) Instructional Technology.
The Ed.S. program with a concentration in School Library Media is designed to prepare media specialists to serve in district-level school library leadership roles in PK-12 school districts. Applicants for concentration one in School Library Media must be eligible for S-5 certification in School Library Media.
The Ed.S. program with a concentration in Instructional Technology includes two tracks. The first track (Certification) provides initial preparation for P12 educators to be eligible for S-6 IT Certification in the state of Georgia and reinforces those ideas through advanced coursework. The second track (General) provides advanced preparation for instructional designers, instructional technology coordinators, and already certified K-12 (e.g., teachers, school library media specialists, instructional technology coordinators possessing IT Certification) seeking to gain additional skills in instructional technology for integration into the P-12 classroom. Admission requires a master’s degree in any field and at least a 3.0 GPA.
Exit certification eligibility is determined by the certificate held during admission to the program.
