A 21st-Century Approach to School Librarian Evaluation


Owen, Patricia. A 21st-Century Approach to School Librarian Evaluation. Chicago: American Association of School Librarians, 2012. ISBN: 978-0-8389-8618-9

Publisher's Description
A 21st-Century Approach to School Librarian Evaluation uses the AASL Empowering Learners program guidelines as a basis for a school librarian evaluation rubric—one that can be adapted or duplicated by school librarians and shared with school administrators. Workbook style prompts walk school librarians through suggested readings, action tips, and evidence collection to help gauge their current levels of achievement, set goals for progress, and form plans for future professional development. This book provides school librarians an opportunity to engage in rigorous self-evaluation and to shape school administrator evaluations. Librarians who proceed step-by-step through A 21st-Century Approach to School Librarian Evaluation will emerge prepared for their annual performance evaluation.
