She will need to determine what she most values as an educator. The role of the teacher-librarian (TL) is stressful but for different reasons, not the least of which is lacking authority or position power. If she values collaboration and partnerhsips more than authority that won't be an issue. If she values most the involvement with curriculum and working as a leader in the school, she will enjoy the position as TL. However, if her motivation is to simply jump from one unhappy situation to another, without analyzing her reasons, she could be just as unhappy as a school librarian. --Ken --- Jen Taylor <Newlibrarian@AOL.COM> wrote: > One of my vice principals asked me today what I > thought about her becoming a > librarian.
