We all know change is constant and we now live in a time of exponential change. There are few professions that have been unaffected by these changes and school librarianship is no exception. Professional development (PD) is a necessary response to these rapid changes.
Professional development enables us to maintain and improve our technical knowledge, professional skills and competencies. We have seen a number of instances in recent times where school librarian positions have been threatened. PD is an important way to support the viability of our changing roles both within our schools and publicly. It is important to keep abreast of the developments in the field of school librarianship and meet the challenges that face our profession.
SLANZA is committed to providing you with professional development opportunities to develop your potential and keep up with the rapid changes in school libraries. Since its inception, SLANZA has offered opportunities for learning through both formal and informal networking events. We would like a better understanding of your professional development needs so that we can make informed decisions as to the content and delivery methods of future professional development programmes.
Please take a few minutes to answer the questions in this anonymous survey - your responses are important to us. SLANZA looks forward to providing you with relevant and good quality opportunities that support your professional development.
