This week felt like a real breakthrough in many ways as the variety of threads started to come together. The week was subject to a variety of important meetings and also an ongoing hmie inspection. The week started with a very positive meeting with the Scottish Information Literacy Project. A lot of positive ideas came out of this and one key thing was that it was a very new project for the libraries to be looking at which made me feel like I had done something innovative. It will be difficult to incorporate but I see this as an interesting challenge going forward. Tuesday saw our learndirect branding visit, this went very smoothly and left me feeling like we had a good chance, this was proved right a couple of days later. I felt the evidence that we held as a team was excellent and the rewards this branding should bring in the future will be great. A CLD was also held, I still feel a little inhibited to talk at these meetings and part of that is not being oinvolved in some ongoing projects previously and also not being confident enough just yet, this is an area where I know I can develop however. With worries about the college also ongoing we held a very positive meeting at the end of the week that meant we felt more confident, this showed me that my ability to work at buiding parterships is improving. Friday saw a visit to the chartership conference and this made me realise I am on the right track, although I need to find a mentor! My draft PPDP will be finished in this next week however.
