I learned some very good news last week but that meant I had to deliver some bad news today. I had decided last semester that this would be my last year as a split school Teacher Librarian, meaning I split my time between two elementary schools. This is my third year doing this and it has taken its toll. I knew that there were some full time Teacher Librarian positions opening up at schools near me for next year and the thought of focusing on one school and growing professionally rather than always catching up and maintaining status quo was becoming too enticing to ignore. Fortunately, I learned last week that I don't have to move to a new school because the principal at one of my schools was able to work her magic on the budget and hire me full time next year! This is the school that has the 1:1 iPad program so I will be able to continue my work implementing this program and will have more time to help it grow and succeed. Unfortunately, this means that I have to say goodbye to my other school in June and that makes me sad. This was the first school that hired me as a Teacher Librarian and I am quite fond of the staff and students. It was difficult for me to inform them of my decision today. Definitely Bittersweet.
