The role of a library media educator is unique in so many ways. We work with the entire school, supporting curricular roles of classroom teachers, and yet are the forgotten ones. Few teachers have to advocate for their jobs on such a regular basis. I wonder how many teachers would stick to it, if, on top of their lessons, they had to be advocates for their jobs. Few other teachers are faced with blank looks of "What, exactly, do you teach? The Dewey Decimal System?"
I will have to constantly re-invent my role. However, looking at my life, that role will make me happy; I don't like doing the same thing day in and day out. Ironically, that is the image most have of the job of a librarian. They couldn't be more mistaken!
I have learned of so many amazing resources, I hope to keep them all straight. I have started a Google Site that I intend to keep updated. I am, however, already rethinking the format.
Change is good!
Implementing change in the world is even better!
