Career+Outline

1. Career Outline I am a primary school teacher with twenty – eight years experience; I have been fortunate enough to gain valuable experience in almost every area of the primary school. I have been a classroom teacher across all year levels from Prep to Year 6, an art specialist, an ESL teacher and a Teacher Librarian. I have also had the pleasure of teaching in five different countries, which has been instrumental in shaping my love of teaching and respect for all cultures. Over the past eight years it has been my pleasure to teach at a very well respected, independent, K-12 school in the leafy suburbs of Melbourne, where I was able to channel my love of literature into the world’s best job; a .4 Teacher Librarian position in the junior school. This part time position offered me the best of two worlds; raising my three children and indulging my love of literature. With the desire to continue in the library and go back to work full time, I embarked on the Charles Sturt University ME Lib course. The course has been a revelation and an inspiration to me opening my mind to the challenges of 21st century teaching and learning.
