The sad part about all of this is that when I went to get my masters in library 
media; the curriculm required me to take more credit hours than that of a teacher 
pursuing thier master in Education.Teachers fail to reaalize that we know more 
about the school's curriculm better than they do.  I know from experience.  I sell 
myself through the students: when I conduct my lessons,  I always hear from the 
teachers we are just about to start that lesson.  I always say I know that is why I 
introduced it to the children to give them some introduction to the topic. 

 

Just think what will happen to students if they did not have libarians/libraries.  
Wow, no specials time, no book fairs, no leisure reading, no computers, etc.  What 
would the school culture/climate be with out us the 'NOT REAL TEACHERS'??????

 

I have my principal's license as well. I overheard teacher say what does a gym, 
music, art & librarian teacher know about leading a building.  They just do not 
know that we 'Specialist teacher' have more experience with leadership then a 
typical classroom teacher.  I just can't stand it.  Within my school district, 
Cincinnati Public Schools, the librarians are taking control. We are gaining more 
respect from the district as a whole. We currently hold our own Professional 
Development days district wide :)

 

 

We will get the respect we need.

 

We have also passed our public library levy to keep our public libraries open !!
