We have just written a new mission statement at my school, which
emphasizes 21 century learning. After reading about strategic change,
particularly Gibb's article (Gibbs, R. (2003) Reframing the role of the
teacher-librarian: The case for collaboration and flexibility Scan 22(3)
4), I felt empowered by the idea of a flexible timetable. I have read
about it before but never really grasped the idea properly. Now that we
have this new mission statement I believe that it gives me an
opportunity to start to discuss this with our new principal who should
be starting by next term. The change in leadership I am hoping will give
me a chance to change too.
I was thinking in preparation for their
arrival I would survey the school community about their opinion,
positive and negative, regarding the library program. This, I am hoping,
would provide me with data to support the changes I would like to make.
