Topic 2 TL: Role statements and standards

I feel that my school needs to develop a fomal statement of the role of the TL, which it hasnt done, this is something that i need to do.

Otherwise, i have develope my own statement but being exposed to ALIA and other statements this has made me change my view on what was the role of a TL to what i now believe to be the role of a TL. Overall a statement of the role of a TL is always changing as technology, resource media and resources and information changes in cohesion with technology.

Overall after reading the statement brought forward to my by ALIA, SAASA and ILFA their underlying core pholospohies tend to be very similar. I feel that i carry acros those core pholosophies in my library.

I believe that resource based learning is a viable model as it allows students to attain spontanious learning to take place. They are able to undertake group activities and communicate with their peers. As a TL our job is tp facilitate and monitor the students learning and be a guide as i put it.

In my school this method of teaching is carried across the entire school. I feel that my views about resarch based teaching is very similar to all the other teaching staff at my school.

My Future Career

Based on all the readings, i feel that the library is a spacial place where as a Teacher Librarian, i facilitate the enjoyment of reading, understanding and using resouces, to all students and staff in a school library. The Hacycock case highlights all of the outcomes of now allowing students with a library, and the importance of the library.
He hightlights the negative impacts taht Canada has faced eg, decreases in reading skills and the impacts for the studenst fuuture in terms of analysitcal and critical thinking. In my caress my aim is to develop a place where students are entering libraries with qualified TL's, allowing students to learn how to garther relevant information, and have the relevant information in my library. Have a varied and updated collection.
