I read an interesting article my Karen Brook in Wed Courier Mail on the place of the tl in schools. She was very supportive of the contiued need for qualifie Tl s in school.She had some great points.

Am attending an inservice tomorrow on Oliver our new library system

assignment

Have been working on the assn and found Google Scholar very useful for some extra info. Found articles by Christine Bruce and haycock that were not in the initial readings.

Time to focus

I have been re-reading the role of the TL and keep coming back to Literature Promotion. I hope this aspect of the job is never overlooked as for me it is a bases for all learning.

Aust curriculum

Last Tues [23rd march] I went to the Curriculum Support teacher's network meeting at Springwood BCE service centre where we had a close look at the new curriculum. It was very useful for me to get an overview rather than look at a year level as I once would have done. I looked at the scince in more detail and it was great to have the 'experts' plus other curriculum teachers with us for some very useful discussion.
I like the look of it although until Qld catches up with our preps only now in year three there will be some challenges. It will be easier when we are in line with other states.

What am I doing?

After feeling totally overwhelmed , I am just beginning to think that maybe I can cope with on-line study. What is scarier is reading about the role of a TL. I have been in the job a matter of weeks and can't find any spare time yet I'm only doing a fraction of the job description.

My blog

It's taken me a while but I've finally got started.
I've enjoyed the reading and have found that the reading and assignments I have already done for a TAFE course I'm doing for library management really helpful.
