Subject: [aaslforum] Fwd: [nyla-members] NYLA Announces Approval of School 
Librarian Evaluation Rubric by State Education Department
 
Why belong to your professional organization? Here's why!

This rubric means that school librarians will be evaluated as school librarians, 
not classroom teachers and was the third submission in an effort led by the 
Section of School Librarians (SSL) of NYLA and the  NYS School Library Systems 
Association (SLSA).

NYLA Announces Approval of School Librarian Evaluation Rubric by State Education 
Department 

 
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.
 
The “School Librarian Evaluation Rubric” can be found online on the SED website 
at:
