Support from the principal is integral... from the modules and readings I'm quite clear about that now! An interesting argument from Haycock (1999)......the principal has just as much influence in the professional practice of a TL this as the TL does.This is a really interesting idea.
If you look at Standard 3.3 “actively engage in school leadership and participate in key committees” well the principal directly affects this capacity at both school and community levels because the principal decides who populates and leads the key committees, informs budgeting decisions, such as staffing of library technicians who free the TL from clerical duties in order to conduct research, design and implement whole school information literacy programs and actively participate in professional communities outside of the library. Oh I think I've just plagarised Hartzell (2002) who also identifies these roles.
AND another happy birthday to me :)
