I am feeling like a fully soaked sponge at the moment. I am dripping with words and phrases at the moment. They are kind of swimming around in my head when I sleep. I'm still trying to put them all together coherently. Perhaps this is normal after a break in study for twenty years with two children in between. I completed my Bachelor Of Ed straight after my Dip Teach. The academic part of my brain is still trying to kick in.
I realise now that with slight panic that the expectations I had of myself as Teacher Librarian need to be re examined. All those roles! I have been focusing more on the role of the teacher and realise how my skills as a leader, resource manager and collaborator have a long way to go. Can I do it? Realistically. I know a TL who I think is exceptional. She is extremely dedicated to her job, but I fear she has little time for anything else. With the busy lives we all have ,and the demands of family I am starting to wonder. . Perhaps by the time I get the hang of it, or even get a permanent TL position , I'll be ready for retirement. Maybe time for a cuppa!
