Hello,
Just wanted to add that my previous post was inspired by Lenora's post that included the quote...."Another concern that I think relates to use of my time is my expertise. Over time I can learn more about subjects but evaluating a science reference would be difficult for me". When I read this quote I immediately agreed with the feelings of not being able to properly/efficiently critique a science or a social studies article because I predominantly teach math at the secondary level.
Further from this quote, I love its honesty. Everyone loves to be confident and show no fear, but in reality, there are times within the classroom where I forget something or don't remember how to explain something effectively. Eventually when I do begin working within the library I foresee there are going to be times when I don't know what my job is supposed to be, or what other responsibilities I have.
Our school is adopting a longer school day to address our schools overcrowding and so this means that our current TL won't be able to work the entire day. The administration knows I'm taking the diploma in teacher librarianship and have asked if I want to work in the library for the extra blocks. I'm very excited, but at the same time very anxious about what my duties will be and if I can execute them correctly. I'm truly looking forward to those first few days of working a few blocks within our school's library. I wonder if I'll like it? I wonder if I'll be successful at it?
All these questions run through my thoughts upon finally getting to work within the school library, and I'm looking forward to answering my queries/worries.
Thanks.-Regen
