About the Role

The Teacher Librarian has a complex, dynamic, and challenging role in the school learning community. As a significant leader of learning in the school, personnel employed in this role must actively seek to maintain fluency with curriculum initiatives, emerging information and learning technologies, and inquiry-based models of learning.

A Teacher Librarian need to be committed to enriching and responding to the learning and teaching needs across the school. A successful Teacher Librarian is an enabler, collaborating with and supporting teachers to incorporate information literacy, literature, print and digital resources in curriculum delivery.

The changing nature of the learning and teaching landscape in schools in a connected world has brought with it increased demand for multimodal access to a wider range of literature and information resources and the need for guidance and support in effective use and integration of these resources within curriculum that enables students to access a learning culture and resources that reflect the possibilities of an innovative 21st-century learning environment.

Teacher Librarians are accountable to and under the direction of the school Principal or delegate.
