CSU's Master of Education (Teacher Librarianship) is targeted to meet the needs of teachers who wish to become teacher librarians, and practicing teacher librarians without a full specialist qualification in teacher librarianship.
The changing nature of schools and education has brought a growing demand for a wide range of information resources and for guidance and support in the effective use of these resources within the curriculum. Teacher librarians are meeting that demand by providing effective access to information resources and services, playing a vital role in facilitating the management and use of information within teaching and learning, leading in the development of information literacy, and managing people and resources.
With a respected history of academic excellence the teacher librarianship team at Charles Sturt University is committed to the development of teacher librarians as:
This course is offered by flexible distance education study, and there are no residential schools.
The course is widely recognised by education departments and authorities. Graduates are eligible for admission as Associates of the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA)

The development of practical skills is a vital part of the course.

The Master of Education (Teacher Librarianship) consists of 64 points comprising seven core subjects and one elective subject.
More information about the course structure
For each 8 point subject at CSU, students should normally expect to spend between 140-160 hours engaged in the specified learning and assessment activities (such as attending lectures or residential schools, assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, assignments or examinations). The student workload for some subjects may vary from these norms as a result of approved course design.
Students will be assessed on the basis of completed assignments, examinations, workplace learning, or other methods as outlined in specific subject outlines.
Where applicable, students are responsible for travel and accommodation costs involved in workplace learning experiences, or attending residential schools (distance education students).
Expectations relating to academic, workplace learning, time and cost requirements for specific subjects are provided in the subject outlines and in course materials.
The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) now offers student income support to students undertaking study in a number of professionally-oriented Master by coursework degrees.
Eligible students undertaking approved Master degrees will be able to access Youth Allowance, AUSTUDY, ABSTUDY or Pensioner Education Supplement. To be eligible for student income support through Youth Allowance and AUSTUDY, students will still need to be studying full-time and to satisfy all other Youth Allowance and AUSTUDY program requirements, including personal, parental or partner income tests. Students who have queries about masters courses and their income support entitlements should contact Centrelink on 13 24 90 for further information.
