I have been relief teaching for ten years. In that time, I have taught every grade to year 10. I have relieved every subject you could think of. Including days in libraries, and it is those days in the library, surrounded by books that I have felt most at home.
I have long thought that Librarian was a good fit for my skill set. I love being part of a school. I enjoy the work with students, but the extra dimension of the library role tingles my fingertips. I love books, I am excited by new technology, and the way the world is changing. A librarian seems to be almost the beating heart of the school.
So here I am, at the beginning of my journey to become a Teacher Librarian, though I must say I like the ring that Media Specialist has. It seems a better description of a role that is bigger than I knew even 2 weeks ago, before I started reading for this subject.
