Evidence of professional competency in Learning Design or Teaching
3.1 Introduction
As a teacher and teacher-librarian for the past 11 years, I feel that I am not quite an expert, but pretty close to It In the field of Learning Design. Based on these experiences, I have found that my philosophy on Learning Design includes creating engaging learning experiences, focusing on the learner, and creating content for these learning experiences with intentionality. I believe that through the Connectivism Learning Theory, learners can connect and learn from each other Intentionally. As a frequent conference presenter and attendee, I have found that I learn more from experiences with other educators and from other educators sharing their own learning.

Internship Experience
During Summer 2022, I was an Intern as a Graduate Assistant to Dr. Karin Perry for her Masters of Library Science Masters courses: Collection Development, School Librarianship, and Computer Science Applications. During the Summer, I assisted Dr. Perry with design of her courses and completed the semester with a Google Form evaluation on my abilities from the students.

The first Selection Policies In School Libraries was for the Collection Development course to encourage students to look up their District Collection Policies. The second presentation was for the School Librarianship course. I noticed many students mention In discussion posts that they did not know what a makerspace was and would like to learn more, so I shared how myself and fellow certified school librarians Implement makerspaces In our libraries.

During these sessions, I would provide dessert for the teachers, and they would eat their lunch while I delivered quick professional development to them.
