NY "School Librarian Evaluation Rubric" - 2 views

  •  
    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.

School Library Monthly - Common Core and School Librarians - 0 views

  • Q: What do school librarians need to understand about the standards?
  • Librarians need to be the gurus of CCS. They need to know the CCS inside out.
  • These standards are interdisciplinary, and it is school librarians who can help teachers make connections among courses. It seems to me that the role of school librarians, more than ever, is one of leader, designer, and educator. They will need to insert themselves on curriculum committees, department meetings, grade level, and team meetings with the focus being how the library can connect all of the disciplines.

  • With the CCS, school librarians can have new power.
  • take the leadership role in their schools and districts and show that what they do is embedded in the CCS and that they can provide information, connections, and instruction to make the interdisciplinary aspects of learning meaningful for students
  • It's time for school librarians to stop whining about being left out and step up to the new plate and hit a homerun.
  • What should school librarians be doing to be a part of the conversation? A: School librarians have to know and understand CCS and not stay back and wait to be asked to help or participate. They have to be assertive and let teachers and administrators know what they can do to help teachers work through the standards. They need to make sure that they are seen as teachers and educators not just book purveyors.
  • Q: Does that mean that professional development for school librarians needs to emphasize collaboration and strategic planning for student learning? A: Yes, if you mean that school librarians have to speak the same language and have the same learning goals as classroom teachers. Everyone in the school must focus their energy on the achievement of the CCS.
  • More than ever school librarians have to work with teachers on their standards, not separate library standards.
  • Remember, the CCS embed the traditional library learning goals into the subject areas. They can brush-up on their collaboration strategies and review the classroom curricula. There are tools that school librarians can use to make connections.
  • I really believe these standards offer school librarians a golden opportunity to become integrated into the educational landscape of the school.
