[CALIBK12] County TEacher of the Year?

[Thomas Nixon]

In regard to Blanche's point, I wonder if this could be a side "benefit" eventually of going from "Library Media Teacher" to "Teacher Librarian." While they both say teacher, an argument can be made that the connotation is different. However, if we are not included as teachers (and we should be), where would we be included? And the answer is that we would not.

That being said, I have grown to greatly appreciate TL over LMT.

This is one to fight. Does he/she accept your title as "library media
teacher?" Does he/she not respect the nomination.

Many years ago one of my students complained because he was a school
librarian in a rural school and Pennsylvania was "forgiving" part of
teacher's master's loans if they were working in rural schools. They tried
to turn him down and he had to have a teaching credential as well as the
library credential. He won his battle. That one had a financial gain.
While yours hasn't it is something to push lest you not be considered a
teacher in other situations.

I was a classroom teacher until June 2008 and am now the TL at my school. Does anyone know if TLs have ever been County Teacher of the Year?
