I'm a teacher librarian in a secondary school in Toronto, Canada. I was monitoring this listserv as part my Librarianship Part 111 (Part 3 is the top additional teaching qualification). I'm head of the library, but I am also the only TL at the school. We serve about 650 adolescent students and about 500 adult high school students. I've have seven teaching qualifications in addition to library and experience in all (English, Sociology, E.S.L., Guidance, Co-op, Data Processing Senior & Adult Education). Altogether I have about 12 years of teaching experience--this is my second year in the library and I make about 62,000 a year (that's Canadian dollars). I teach 6.5 out of 8 possible teaching subjects (theoretically anyway)--I'm actually on for more. Twice a week I don't take lunch. I've got my honour's B.A. in English from Queen's U. I'm curious about the differences between Canada and the U.S. Do most Media Specialists need to get their M.A. in Library Science? Can you do that online? Would there be any job openings for someone like me? (I'm not sure I could move in reality because of joint custody arrangements with my ex-husband, but I am curious) Our provincial government seems intent on destroying our public system of education. It keeps cutting educational funding. Schools can not afford the new textbooks for the new curriculum, and it looks like Teacher Librarians may soon become obsolete--to be replaced by Library Technicians (much cheaper). I'd be obliged if someone could send me a message. Thanks.
