As soon as I began reading these documents, ASLA evidence guide for teacher librarians in the proficient career stage and ASLA evidence guide for teacher librarians in the highly accomplished, I started to compare the examples of evidence to my current practice. These documents are a great tool for all teacher librarians at varying levels. For a new teacher librarian such as myself I began to tick the boxes of what it is I already implement in my current practice. I began to notice areas that I could improve upon to work towards becoming highly accomplished.

Reading through these documents can be overwhelming especially for TL’s who are passionate about their work and strive to be the best they can. There are so many aspects that I would love to improve upon but this will obviously take years to achieve. I will utilise these documents to set goals for myself that are realistic in the environment I work in (I say this as I am currently in a library kiosk, a.k.a. a demountable, as we have a new library being built) and achievable. These document are a great tool to encourage reflection and to motivate growth.
