Both Purcell and Herring have a multifaceted view of the role of the teacher librarian. I feel I relate better to Purcell's understanding of the role. For me it was examining the 2 roles of information specialist and the role of instructional partner. As I have been currently working as a T/L and struggling with that role, reading about those two roles enabled me to see the light. I was able to make a shift in my teaching from classroom teacher to that of instructional partner and truly the role of a T/L. The children have greatly benefited from this shift already. I can see the growth in their information literacy skills.
WOW!
