Re: Taking work home

[Lisa Von Drasek <lisav@BNKST.EDU>]

I just had to chime in. No I don't write reports or give grades but here
is my home work.
Reading, reading, reading- not just children's books which of course are
priority, professional material like Knowledge Quest, Reading teacher,
Hornbook,  Voya, Library Journal , School Library Journal.Instructor,
Teaching k-8.
Also book ordering, collection development, summer reading lists,
newsletters to parents, memos to teachers, responding to my e-mail,
returning voicemail messages, prepping for classes, and researching
appropriate websites and materials to support individual classroom
curriculum requests.

I don't think I am in competition with classroom teachers or a case of
oh poor me look how hard I work. I love my job and am grateful that I
love the work I take home. I also have a really great rolling backpack
that I lug all that stuff back and forth in.
