I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, so feel free to ignore. MY DP has come to chat to me for input on our Text Selection Policy. Are you aware of any schools/individuals that I could chat to that have included provisions for how to manage the learning for students who are triggered by certain topics/themes?

I'm thinking of training as a teacher librarian.

Any insights into moving from a library technician into the teaching role? I have a teaching background.

How do I get work when I have not got any experience after finishing my training. I can't get interviews or a job in field.

It has been suggested those new to libraries would benefit from a full day of training. Would this be of interest or is it too much! SCIS do offer training for those new to libraries too.

The bulk of our borrowing comes from our younger students. Any tips for getting the older ones back in and borrowing?

What are some lunchtime clubs that are being run in other secondary school libraries? Always looking for ideas!

Update: I saw the SLAV email about the October PD on clubs, which I'm looking forward to.

Are there any schools that you know of that have information literacy programs that go across year levels in a more formal scope and sequence arrangement? Looking beyond ad-hoc, one off sessions when requested by teaching staff.

What data sets do schools collect? I'm aware that I can get some borrowing statistics but am interested in what other schools do beyond that.

Any ideas to assist my advocacy for a larger library team?

Where can I get help creating library lessons for a high school.
