GEN: Student teachers

[Jamie & Rody <roadstar@worldnet.att.net>]

Greetings to those of you still out there,

Has anyone had the opportunity to work with a student teacher in their
library? If so, how many years of experience did you have when you
accepted the position of being a cooperating/supervising librarian?

My reason for asking... My principal left a message this morning asking
whether or not I would agree to have a student teacher (grad school
student) for the first semester of next year.

I am very, very hesitant to agree to this situation. I guess my main
concern is that I've only had two and a half years of experience since
grad school in 1998. There are 5 other librarians in my district that
have much more experience than I do. In addition, my library is (what I
like to call it) in "transition." By this I mean- the library was seldom
used for a variety of reasons and I'm slowly turning that around.

If you have any advice, please respond. I would appreciate it!

Sincerely,
Jamie Michaels, Librarian
Wilson Middle, Erie PA
