VIT standards and teacher librarian practice

This document has been developed to assist principals, teacher librarians and school communities and has the following applications:

• It can be used as a guide when provisionally registered teacher librarians are applying for registration. Qualified librarians who complete a teaching qualification and are seeking registration as a teacher would find this document particularly useful
• It would be of value to principals who are focussing on the role of the teacher librarian within the school
• It provides details about teacher librarian practice for those school communities that use the VIT Standards as the framework for their Annual Review Meeting (ARM)
• It can be used in conjunction with School Improvement Framework in Libraries (SIFiL). The indicators could assist library staff to contribute to the school’s Self-reflection Report. In addition, the document could be used in the ongoing monitoring of the School Improvement Plan (SIP) and the Annual Action Plan (AAP)
• It provides exemplars of practice for teacher librarians
