Hello everyone,
This subject is my halfway point in the Master of Education
(Teacher Librarianship) program.
I initially trained as a chemistry teacher, but have had
many roles across the education system over the last couple of years –
laboratory technician, teacher aide, boarding house supervisor just to name a
few. I am currently teaching science and VCE geography at a small rural school.
I have found in small schools you may be called on to be a teacher of nearly
any subject even if you have no background in it. I have taught history,
geography, business management and science from grade 6 up. I have even made it
into the kindergarten classroom for a day or two, wow I admire those teachers
out there who can hang out with 4-5 year olds every day. I have seen the need
for a professionally trained teacher librarian in our school, which is one of
my reasons for taking on this course.
I am currently in the middle of an exam marking and report
writing time at school, so aside from the usual teaching load the addition of studying
makes for one very busy life. But I love the challenge.
