MANAGEMENT: Professional Supports

Professional development is an on-going process for all teachers, from administrators to beginning teachers.  The teacher-librarian, as one in a unique role in the school, will need to access professional development opportunities from sources outside the school.  As well, the regular business of a teacher-librarian is often supported by information in journals and online documents.

Saskatchewan Learning provides a document to help all teachers plan their professional development.  Classroom Curriculum Connections
