I have been thinking about this a lot lately.
Not just because it is one of the units I am doing, or because it keeps coming up in just about every reading for every subject we do, but because we are now at the end of Term One 2011. I am now at the end of my first term as a TL. And I feel like I have little to nothing to show for it.
So far the only things I have done seem to be cosmetic. Some new displays, lanterns and the rearrangement of furniture. (That actually is one benefit, every day I have to rearrange the furniture after some teacher or another has mussed it up. In itself though it is a problem. The library is seen as just a physical space, a place for large gatherings or wet weather activities.)
In one week I will go for an update meeting with my Principal. Convened by me, for the purposes of discussing what I'd actually like to do in the library, the lasting impression I would like to make.
Number one on the agenda is a library website. And if I get nothing else that is my one desperate wish.
Then there is a creative writing programme.
And specific assessment workshops for different grades.
And a gifted and talented programme.
And an information literacy programme for every grade.
That's probably enough for now.
This whole TL as leader thing has got me thinking,
I know I'm a leader
But does anyone else in the school know it?
