[CASL-L] Pilot State Evaluations & Dr. Barzee

[Palazzolo, Katrina]

Make your administrators look good. Start where there is a need.  And fill the need.  And find a teacher you get along with and work with them on designing a project that contains some library media skills -- specifically those skills cited in the common core -- like plagiarism, citation, research, credible sources.  The projects don't have to be large.  They can be mini.

I have also been looking for more information on this.



I am in my second year as lms. We have never had a formal library program, there is no teacher-lms collaboration, the lms has never taught classes, the former lms was never evaluated at all. This is a huge shift, and I have no idea where to start.

Windsor is also a pilot district.  We are doing some work on this tomorrow.  At the elementary and middle level, I think we are going to attempt to tie some of our goals to the MAP test (Measures of Academic Progress) that we just started using in our district this year in grades K-8.  This battery of tests is aligned to the Common Core. It is computer adaptive.  And it appears that the data spawned from the Language Usage test - specifically the info on Writing, Research, etc - directly aligns with library media standards.  If anyone has any experience writing goals aligned to the MAP data, let me know. Would love to hear your experience. However, if we are blazing a new trail, we'll let you know how it goes when we are done.

I second that.  We're a pilot district.  I was looking forward to hearing info at CASL.  I would even attend an evening or weekend in-person session, though I like the webinar idea.

Are there any plans to create a webinar/information session with Dr. Sarah Barzee to answer our questions about how school librarians will be evaluated using the new Pilot Evaluation program? I would be interested in attending if a webinar/information session was offered.

Thanks,
