Just a quick post here, based on a bunch of letters I got from my G1 students asking what the “roles and responsibilities of a librarian were” – I had to very quickly cobble it together in about 3 minutes I had between classes, so I’m sure I’ve forgotten tons. What I wanted to bring across is that what you see is just a fraction of what you get with a teacher-librarian. And even so, it’s just so frustrating that whenever I’m doing one thing, it means I’m not doing something else that I probably should / could / have to / ought to/ be doing.
Fortunately I’d just been reading Nasreddine that morning – I’ve taken to reading a couple of picture books while I have my breakfast to set my day off, and it was the perfect antidote to that feeling of hopelessness.

I’m currently living in Dubai, UAE, which is the latest in a long line of places I’ve been living in the last few years including China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Spain, Switzerland, Brazil, Netherlands, Italy, Luxembourg, and South Africa. I’m married with two adult children. Having lived around the world I’ve acquired quite a few languages and my big passion is bi/multi-lingualism and - culturalism, which I try to incorporate into my work, learning and essays wherever possible! I finished my MIS degree in December 2014 and my M Ed (Knowledge Networks and Digital Innovation) in October 2016. My murky past is in commerce and industry as a Chartered Accountant, doing a lot of random studying and learning and I’m currently working in an American School but have been a librarian PYP, MYP and IB in other international schools.
