  • According to a 2008 Kaplan study, one in 10 college admissions officers routinely check out college applicants’ Facebook and MySpace pages. And some 38% of them found posts and pictures that reflected poorly on those prospective students. It wasn’t even necessarily that they’d posted provocative or hard partying photos. In some cases, students had simply written disparagingly about the campuses they toured.

    "Emphasis on short, focused research projects. Not just a onetime research project once a year or once every couple of years but several short research projects where students gradually comprehend an area more and more deeply or several areas and gain knowledge about them through doing research on them. And research is at the core of these standards and that kind of short focused research is essential to college and career readiness just as is more extended research."

    Albany, NY The New York State Library Association is pleased to announce that the New York State Department of Education (SED) has approved "School Librarian Evaluation Rubric". The tool provides guidance to school districts in evaluating the performance of school librarians in support of the newly mandated Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) process. The rubric was developed in partnership between the Section of School Librarians (SSL) of NYLA and the School Library Systems Association (SLSA). The team worked for over a year on the development of the document, which underwent multiple revisions prior to final SED approval. "We are excited to be able to provide this resource to schools across New York State, and believe it is the most accurate tool available for evaluating school librarians," stated NYLA Executive Director Jeremy Johannesen.

    Notes to Evaluator: This APPR evaluation tool has also been crafted to align Charlotte Danielson's Enhancing Professional Practice, the NYS School Library Program Evaluation Rubric tool, and goals of the Common Core Standards to increase rigor, relevance, and college and career readiness. This tool is aligned with NYS Teaching Standards as indicated in the left column. The terms Librarian, School Librarian (SL), School Library Media Specialist (SLMS), and all refer to a NYS certified School Librarian.
