Last year I applied for an 8 week position as a Teacher Librarian in a local Primary school. I was offered the position and things really took off from there. It gave me the chance to use the knowledge that I had learned through my MedTL course and run with it. I enjoyed my time immensely and learned so much about staff dynamics, the need for advocacy of the TL position and the Destiny system and all it's pros and cons. The time went by too fast and in my last week I learned that the TL had decided to retire. The job was advertised as temporary part-time for 2014. Thankfully I got the position and am now doing something that I really love.
Thus the reason for few posts on my blog. I have now started the downhill run on my Masters with only two subjects left. For the next two semesters I have both a job placement and a study visit that need to be completed and since I am a TL in a school, I am exempt from a school placement. I have decided to approach the University and see if I can work there. My problem, I must undertake this during school holiday time. :( That means I have to push back my study visit until September. This is going to be one busy, busy year!
