  3. Amy’s School’s SLMS Evaluation Process • Lenape Regional High School District (Burlington County, NJ) • “Homegrown” method of evaluating staff- including school librarians

  4. Observations • Using 2-year-old checklist for observations (in your handout) • 4 librarians revising the checklist to become a rubric, modeled after the classroom teacher’s observation rubric

  5. Student Growth Objectives (SGOs) • We will write two (2) SGOs per librarian, per year • Not per class, per librarian • 5 librarians from my District working on these during in-service days

  6. What goes into an SGO? (Thank you Arlen Kimmelman)Last page of handout

  7. What goes into an SGO? • Get 21st – Century Approach to School Librarian Evaluation by American Association of School Librarians • Look at Nina Kemps’ notes about developing SGOs using SLMS roles/responsibilities (last page of handout)

  8. NJASL’s Exemplar SGOs • A committee of NJASL volunteers has written “exemplar” SGOs with guidance from the NJ Department of Education • We have revised them and are waiting to hear back from the DOE before we release them to our membership as exemplars- 3 were approved yesterday! • We are collecting SGOs to post on the NJASL website– hoping to have a database of SGOs to help each other

  9. SGOs = Collaboration Opportunity • Use your knowledge of SGOs to offer help and guidance to classroom teachers • Can I help you write your SGO? • How can I support your SGO? • Gather together teachers’ SGOs and use those to send out information and messages about how you can help

On Site, On Demand LibraryLinkNJ Workshop • Nina Kemps and I will come to your district or association meeting (12 or more participants) • 100% of the cost of the workshop is subsidized by LibraryLinkNJ • New Evaluations in NJ: Students, Teachers and School Library Media Specialists • After this workshop, participants will be able to: • Formulate appropriate and effective Student Growth Objectives • Build a range of strategies and techniques to communicate how a School Library Media Specialist should be evaluated   • Explain the New Jersey classroom teacher evaluation process • Take an active role in preparing students for the PARCC assessment • For more information and requirements: • http://librarylinknj.org/ce/onsite/staffdevelopment2014-school-libraries
