media type="custom" key="4547552" Secret Four: Learning is the Work, focuses on the core goals of a company and the learning that occurs in order to become better at what one does. This idea of //continuous improvement// is built into the culture of the organization with high expectations that workers will do things consistently across the organization and improve and innovate to do things better all the time. In addition, this secret deals with how //learning on the job is an essential part of the success of an organization//. For example, the supervisor’s main goal is to teach the workers to be successful in the work place. This means that they must be more effective at their job while continuing to reflect on their performance while moving towards becoming self-reliant workers. This secret is an essential part of the school system and applies directly to the work that the teacher librarian does in the media center. As the teacher librarian and a leader in the school, one must focus on continuously improving the library while at the same time building a library program that consistently functions at a high level for all students. The librarian’s job is thus to create a basic platform of processes that ensure that all teachers and students can adequately and effectively use the resources housed by the library, while simultaneously reflecting on ways to improve the use of those resources, and working to change and modify the way those resources are used to make participation more efficient.
