I am currently undertaking the Flexible Blended Learning Course provided by the School Library Association of NSW (SLANSW) focusing on the book publishing by Margaret Merga - School Libraries Supporting Literacy and Wellbeing.
So far, I have worked through two modules, both of which have required me to reflect on my role but also my role as a literacy educator.
Sometimes, I feel that I may not be fulfilling all aspects of the role of the teacher librarian, but having to review tables published in the book, I found that I was fulfilling my role, even if I did not notice it. It gave me assurance that I am doing my job, but also the depth at which I am doing it.
It has also given me an opportunity to reflect on my professional growth in recent times and should I wish to seek employment elsewhere in the future, I will have a guide to help me reflect on the skills, experience, qualities and attributes that I can use to explain to employers why I am the most suited person for the role.
