Thank you so much!

It’s a MASSIVE pain to create… but once it’s done? Amazing. Can’t recommend it enough! Hope you enjoy your custom planner as much as I enjoy mine!
Super interested in this! Hope you’ll consider sharing the process in a blog post or on a website after you’ve presented it at a conference!

Do you have a Librarian one? Leave out the eye bags, stack of papers, and edits to the title and the rest is the same! 🤣
Sold! Subscribed! Sat down and read the whole thing in one afternoon. Loved everything about it. Can’t wait to read more of your work!

23.11.2023 00:41 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Yep, that’s me: all training, plus certification in 3 states, plus masters was for elementary Ed. I’m also in San Diego, where most elementary schools don’t even have librarians 😭😩so it’s waaay off most ppls radar! Wish my school might pay for my MLIS, but afraid they’ll think I’ll jump ship!

Please more library guinea pig content! 😍
Wikipedia IS reliable in comparison! 🤣
22.11.2023 19:50 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I agree, but it’s tricky. When the only path to be certified is a Masters program and many important skills are learned on the job, it’s tough to justify.
Full disclosure: I’m a non-certified school librarian (private school). Would I love to be certified? Yes! Do I want a 2nd Master’s? Nope.
“NAEP proficient is not synonymous with grade level. NAEP officials urge that proficient not be interpreted as reflecting grade level work. It is a standard set much higher than that. Scholarly panels have reviewed the NAEP achievement standards and found them flawed.”
22.11.2023 03:48 — 👍 10 🔁 5 💬 1 📌 1When I see anyone refer to the “fact” that 65% of kids are not proficient readers, I don’t trust anything else they say. This is either a misunderstanding or a misrepresentation of the NAEP data. Since it is easy to figure this out, they are either idiots or lying.
