Sarah Pavey, MSc FCLIP
Consultant and Trainer for Schools and Libraries
Sarah is a freelance qualified professional librarian with teaching experience. She has worked in many spheres of education both in the independent and maintained sectors, primary and secondary. She is passionate about developing information literacy skills, digital and media literacy skills, critical thinking skills and independent learning skills throughout all key stages. Having been employed as a teacher librarian, she spent considerable amounts of time in the classroom as well as the library.
If nearly 700 websites and 500 hours of video footage are added to the internet every minute then surely learning to handle and evaluate information becomes akin to learning to speak another language. If technology exists to aid this process and to help encourage creativity in writing then we have to teach these digital media skills. Her training style is very practical and she likes to use problem solving, critical thinking and games to help participants understand concepts in preference to just delivering "how to" content.
Her first degree is in Biochemistry and my master's degree is in Information Science. She also has a post 16 teaching qualification. Although she spent most of the last 20 years of her career in schools, she also has experience of the Pharmaceutical and Financial information sectors and has experience as a Business Development Manager for a library software company.
When she is not being a consultant she plays in professional traditional folk music ceilidh bands and singing groups.
