Reflections

A teacher librarians job is a lot bigger and broader than I thought before starting this course. I had never really sat down and considered just what a teacher librarian, or a librarian in any library really does. The scope of a teacher librarian's job is huge! Curriculum leader, collaborator, resource manager just to name a few!
Learning about collection management has been interesting. There are so many things to consider. I am especially enjoying the small piece on censorship that we have been doing and how censorship encroaches on selection.
Looking at my school (where I am not the teacher librarian) I can see that the role is very narrow and there is no chance to be a curriculum leader. Of course, this can change.
My eyes have been open to a whole new world within a school that I was not aware existed (reflects on my collaboration, or lack there of, with teacher librarians as a classroom teacher).
