VIT Standards and teacher librarian practice
Since the early 2000s, teacher librarians have had ongoing involvement in the standards movement at the national level. In 2005, the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) and the Australian School Library Association (ASLA) published the joint statement: Standards of professional excellence for teacher librarians.
At the state level, the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) developed standards relating to the registration of teachers. These provide benchmarks for the practice of those seeking to be registered as a member of the teaching profession in Victoria. Teacher librarians need to meet these standards to be registered.
The Victorian Catholic Teacher Librarian [VCTL] network in consultation with ALIA Schools began work on the document titled: VIT Standards and teacher librarian practice. This document has been developed to assist principals, teacher librarians and school communities with outlining suggestions of practice and evidence to identify how the teacher librarian can meet these teacher standards.
The document is in two parts: primary and secondary. The examples in the primary section are the result of a brainstorm by the working party. The examples in the secondary section are drawn from the Annual Review Meeting [ARM]s of two secondary teacher librarians.
