I totally agree.  Student learning is key.  You gave some good examples, Susan!

My district is already using teacher evaluations... I would steer away from circulation statistics and veer towards goals related to student learning. It is important to highlight what you teach (even if it is through project based learning). This year my goals were:

TRAILS assessment for identifying information sources for 8th grade (I used their 9th grade assessment).

Kindergarten identifying the difference between informational text and literature (this was collaborative with grade level teachers) and I created the assessment.

OPAC book reviews for 4th grade (collaborative with classroom teachers and scaffolded with mini-lessons on the library end).

In the past I have used use of OPAC (which I created an assessment); evaluation of websites; targeted circ increases (I.e. 8th grade); development of collaborative research projects with several grade levels; citation and bibliography...

It takes a little time to create your own assessments ... But it is worth it. Definitely check out Kent State's TRAILS assessments.

Hello everyone,

I am looking for ideas for data collection for the upcoming new teacher evaluation.  Since I do not teach at all, the options are limited.  Is anyone planning on using anything other than circulation statistics for data?  If you have any good ideas, I would appreciate if you could send them my way.

Thanks so much!!
