Re: Teaching experience

I agree with Joyce.  Iwas a taeching assitatnt at the college level a
than a corporate librarian before i got my first job in a jr. sr. school
library. I t was a private school so i didn't have a credential.  I
taught various classes through the years, english, gov't social studies,
japanese and used the same skills in the library and the classroom. I am
now in a public elementary school in Ca. I have an LMS but not a
credential but as I put it, if I had the credential I would still be a
library assitant because few elementary schools in Ca have LMT's in the
elementary schools. I say they are  getting a bargain having a librarian
as a library assi't. Anyway I have learned through conferences etc.
things I may have missed about elementary recources, but I feel I am a
teacher as well as a librarian and I love working at the elementary level.
