The Standards of Professional Excellence for Teacher Librarians

WOW! What a document!

I think that this is an excellent resource ofr anyone in the educational field - let alone teacher librarians!

It is so well thought out and covers all the key areas pertaining to an effective library that suitably caters to the needs of an ever changing Information Literate School Community.

The brief and concise nature of this document is well intended and is great how you can then follow it up in more depth if one wishes in the prescribed Learning for the Future text.

I really believe that two of the most important indicators in this document are that TL's get in touch with the school's curriculum needs that one finds oneself in and pursues leadership skills. How can one cater for the needs of any given school if one does not know what the student outcomes are and it is essential that one works toward fine leadership skill s so that the ideal use of the TL is advocated and implemented from the top down.

Well must go but these are just a few more of my reflections.
