Students using technology in the classroom — Incorporating arts, library, STEM, and STEAM learning

The San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) offers leadership, support, and information to educators and staff in school districts countywide. SDCOE also provides instructional resources to schools and colleges through contracting services.

Librarian of record

SDCOE makes it easy to connect your district or charter school with a credentialed librarian as required by state law. Whether it's reading, research, or technology, a certificated librarian is the key to transforming the library media center into the hub of any learning community.

What Recent IMRA Graduates Are Saying

"The beauty of this course is that you put into practice what you study. I have taken technology classes before, been inspired but never really used much of the information in my daily work. With this class, you actually get to test your knowledge and skills. I already feel that I am a better library assistant because of the newly gained knowledge..."
- Helle V., Piedmont Unified

"If you are debating whether or not to take this class, or if you have been nudged in this direction, take a deep breath and hang on for the ride! This course was so much more than I had expected. You will gain so much information, receive confirmation, and you will have a tremendous amount of support available to you, not only from your teachers but from your classmates. From the 8-week fully packed course, I have already been able to adapt some of the information right into my Library Media Tech position."
- Jill A., San Diego Unified

"The biggest change in my library is me! I have changed the look of the library, the way I run it before school and at recess, and how I do things to support my school. THANK YOU for all that you have showed me to do and the support that I CAN do it!"
- Mary M., Merced
