Artist, Designer, Educator, Creator, Presenter. Which of the previous terms does not belong with the others?
NONE.
That's right, it was a trick question. As a teacher I am often assumed to be the "type A" person, or someone who is organized, stiffed, or boring. However, even though I might be an overachiever and go-getter, I also have to be flexible, adaptable and creative to meet the needs of all of my students. Quick to differentiate is incredibly important and analogies become my second language.
As a teacher I have to think like a designer. The world, now more than ever, is judged by appearance. Aesthetics are incredibly important. From the length of a parent email, to my 'agenda' on the white board. Everything needs to be pleasing to the eye. Knowing this helps me design a room that helps students engage not just with their environment, but also with the content.
As a future Librarian, I will need to remember the key points of presentation and video design to help me meet my daily tasks. From creating an inviting environment, to presenting to staff or parents, to the possibility of needing video lessons, design is a skill that every Librarian needs to develop.
NONE.

And never stop growing.
