About Me

Emma S. McDonald, M.Ed
I am a teacher-librarian at the high school level in my 5th year with the library as my classroom. I love reading with a passion, supporting teachers, and teaching students. The library lets me do all three at the same time, so it is the perfect job for me! I adore Dr. Who, Star Trek, Fairies & Magic, and anything related to time-travel. 10-second Bio: *Library Media Specialist/ Teacher-Librarian *Veteran Teacher *Co-founder of Inspiring Teachers *Author: Survival Kit for New Teachers Classrooms that Spark ABC's of Effective Parent Communication Mentor Notebook Classroom Reflections
