Introduction
Program Relationship to Unit Conceptual Framework and Continuous
Assessment Plan
WKU’s Conceptual Framework represents beliefs and values that
are shared by all programs that prepare university students
to enter education professional fields. These fields
include:
Teachers in elementary, middle, and high schools
Library media specialists
Principals and superintendents
School counselors
School nurses
School psychologists
Speech pathologists
All these education professional preparation programs are
considered by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher
Education (NCATE) and Kentucky’s Education Professional
Standards Board (EPSB) to represent WKU’s Professional
Education Unit. Faculty representatives from each of the
education fields in the Unit were involved in various aspects
related to the development and approval of the Conceptual
Framework. An abridged version of the Conceptual Framework
is attached to this document as Appendix A.
It is important to note that during the development of the
Conceptual Framework, committee members thought it important to
delineate all essential beliefs, ideas, and implications even if
they were difficult to measure or live out. Thus, many beliefs,
ideas, or implications reflect what the unit aspires to
accomplish over time.
Based on these values, the Professional Education Council
adopted the unit-wide Continuous Assessment Plan. From this
plan, each program developed a Program Assessment Plan (Appendix
B). As can be seen from our plan, the first “Continuous
Assessment Matrix” maps out how our program attempts to live out
the unit-wide assessment vision. The “Critical
Performance Assessment Alignment Matrix” describes the
assessments that our program uses to measure candidate progress
toward the Kentucky Teacher Standards. Unless noted, all these
assessments are collected within the unit’s Electronic
Portfolio and Accountability Systems and are used to guide
decisions as indicated in the Transition Points described in
the
Program Assessment Plan. The “Other Key Data Collection Matrix”
identifies where other unit-wide data related to the unit
Conceptual Framework are collected within our program.
Furthermore, to ensure that all our program candidates work with
diverse students, we have identified the clinical/field
experiences associated with LME courses as the designated
experience where candidates are placed in diverse settings. We
determined our most diverse settings by averaging the ethnic
diversity of the schools in our service area (about 11%) and
selecting schools as diverse that exceed this percentage. The
following courses, assessments, and experiences provide
additional opportunities for our program candidates to address
topics related to diversity:
The 200 clinical/field experiences prior to the Internship
include the following:
LME 501 (10 hours) Facility and program evaluation;
LME 502 (10 hours) LMS job shadowing, journal, LMS interview and
reflective paper;
LME 508 (10 hours) Reference collection analysis, LMS interview
and reflective paper;
LME 518 (5 hours) Collaborative literature project with
classroom teacher;
LME 527 (5 hours) Collaborative literature project with
classroom teacher;
LME 535 (20 hours) Observations of teachers and students using
technology;
LME 537 (10 hours) Instructional Design Project;
LME 589 (150 - 200 hours) all other required experiences for
field hours including school board meeting
attendance, experiences at elementary, middle, and high school,
experiences with diverse populations,
-

observations in Family Resource Centers and Youth Service
Centers, student tutoring, experiences with families
of students, participation in Professional Learning Communities,
and opportunities to assist teachers and other
personnel.
LME 592 Internship in LME (70 full days) includes 35 days in
library media center in an elementary setting and 35
days in library media center in a middle or high school
setting.
Finally, after the Professional Education Council adopted a
unit-wide set of dispositions (see Appendix A), our program
identified the following courses and experiences where we or
other field observers (e.g., cooperating teachers) assess our
students’ display of behavior associated with these
dispositions.
As a mid-point assessment in the LME program, graduate students
complete an online application for the LME 592
Internship. Students self-assess themselves on the Level 1
Dispositions. Library Media Supervisors of graduate students in
LME 592 assess LME graduate students on Level 2
Dispositions.
Program Overview
Brief Program Description
The Certification Only Program in Library Media Education (LME)
is designed to give professionals both a deep and
practical knowledge of school libraries in P-12 settings. Within
the LME certification program, candidates are expected to
become competent in theory, research, and application of best
practices related to school libraries and exhibit appropriate
teacher dispositions and behaviors as indicated by the College
of Education and Behavioral Sciences Teacher Disposition
Rating Form.
The program prepares persons for service as library media
specialists. This graduate certification program requires 33
hours
of coursework in Library Media Education. Students seeking
initial certification may be required to take additional
courses
to satisfy state of Kentucky licensure requirements or to
address deficiencies related to prior coursework in education.
All
courses in the program contain critical performance indicators
(CPIs) that must be successfully completed before the final
course grade will be recorded. Each course’s CPI becomes a part
of the portfolio that is reviewed at the end of each
semester for progress through the program.
Successful completion of an internship is required. A GPA of 3.0
or higher in all graduate course work is required, with no
grade lower than a “C.” Note: To be eligible for recommendation
for teacher certification, students must document that they
have received a passing score on the required Praxis II
examination for school librarians for Kentucky.
Admission requirements to the LME Certification Only program
include the following:
ALA accredited Master’s degree in Library Science A person who
does not hold a teaching certificate may obtain initial
certification in Kentucky as a Library Media
Specialist upon completion of the Certification Only in LME
Program, admission to Professional Education at WKU,
and a passing score on the PRAXIS II Subject Assessment-Library
Media Specialist. Information regarding the
requirements for admission to Professional Education may be
found at http://www.wku.edu/ste. Students are expected
to apply for admission to professional education within the
first semester of admission to the LME program.

B. Program Alignment to Kentucky Core Academic Standards
(KCAS).
As stated by the Kentucky Department of Education, “The
instructional program should
emphasize the development of students' abilities to acquire and
apply knowledge and assure that
appropriate accommodations are made for the diverse populations
of students found within
Kentucky schools.” The LME Certification Only program strives to
keep this basic tenant of
the KCAS at the forefront of the curriculum.
Section 1. KRS 158.6451 (2) The Kentucky Board of Education’s
model curriculum framework
which is directly tied to the goals, outcomes, and assessment
strategies developed pursuant to
this section and KRS 158.645 and 158.6453. The framework shall
identify teaching and
assessment strategies, instructional material resources, ideas
on how to incorporate the
resources of the community, a directory of model teaching sites,
alternative ways of using
school time, and strategies to incorporate character education
throughout the curriculum.”
http://education.ky.gov/curriculum/docs/pages/kentucky-core-academic-standards---new.aspx
The Kentucky Model Curriculum Framework 2011 [per section 1. KRS
158.6451(2)] serves as
a facilitation guide to assist an instructional supervisor,
principal, school librarian, and/or
teacher leader. The framework provides a rationale for the need
to revisit curriculum planning,
offers background information and exercises to generate “future
oriented” thinking, and
suggests a process for designing and reviewing the local
curriculum.

Scholarship is defined by NCATE as systematic inquiry into the
areas related to teaching, learning, and the education of teachers
and other school personnel.
Scholarship includes traditional research and publication as
well as the rigorous and systematic study of pedagogy, and the
application of current research findings in
new settings. Scholarship further presupposes submission of
one’s work for professional review and evaluation. 4
Service includes faculty contributions to college or university
activities, schools, communities, and professional associations in
ways that are consistent with the
institution and unit’s mission. 5
For example, three contributions of scholarship, leadership, and
service might be 1) Scholarship - article published in a specific
journal, 2) Leadership - officer of a
state or national association, and 3) Service - an evaluation of
a local school program. NOTE: You MUST provide evidence of
SCHOLARSHIP. 6
