As a student teacher I was told that becoming a teacher meant you would never stop learning. Opportunities to broaden our knowledge and our practice would come up for us, but it was also up to us to seek opportunities to learn.
I. Love. Learning.
Its so satisfying to know new things and even more satisfying to share them! This brings me to my first point.
Share. Share. SHARE.
*I'm secretly loving the fact that my blog theme is coming in super handy for this topic.
Many of my most memorable ah-ha moments were from visiting colleagues in their classrooms and watching lessons, literacy stations or general classroom management. My hope is to continue to share learning with other colleagues, as well as make opportunities to visit colleagues. I would like to spend time in other libraries and see how many teacher- librarians set up their rooms, their lessons, their makerspace areas. I have, and hope to continue to have a relationship with our District Helping Teacher in Literacy, where I can learn from and connect with to create visiting opportunities.
Ps. This is a great time to take a look at those Provincial Specialist Associations! Did you know they have one just for Teacher Librarians!? You can even follow them on Twitter!
