WHY CREATE A TOOL?
• Local Need– District adopts a Praxis-type evaluation form for
teachers – Adopted evaluation form inconsistent with
teacher-librarian (TL) Information Power roles• Teacher • Instructional partner• Information specialist• Program administrator

P. Owen & M. Oakleaf, OELMA 2007
WHY CREATE A TOOL?
• Problems Encountered:– ODE does not provide a T-L evaluation tool (because
Ohio is a local control state)– Existing evaluation tools do not meet criteria (not ACS-
based, wrong format, lack rubrics, etc.)– T-L’s want to participate in creation of their evaluation
tool (a form of their own!)– T-L’s seek to use their evaluation tool to advocate for
their libraries– T-L’s promote evidence-based practice

THE LITERATURE SEARCH
• What evaluation tools are available?– Teacher-focused evaluation forms– Existing T-L evaluation forms

TEACHER-FOCUSED EXAMPLES
Component 1.1 Acquires and uses knowledge about students as individual learners in preparing lessons which consider students’ diverse backgrounds, communities, and interests.
Component 3.4 Tracks individual student progress by instructional and non-instructional records.
Component 4.1 Contacts all families about academic and social progress of the students and events in the classroom, encourages parental involvement in the student’s education.

P. Owen & M. Oakleaf, OELMA 2007
STEPS TO CREATE EVALUATION TOOL
1. Identify ACS (K-12 library guidelines) to use in place of Praxis teacher evaluation content.
• Choose a grade level (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12, K-12).• Consolidate similar indicators, benchmarks,
standards.• Ignore repetitious indicators, benchmarks, standards.• Omit items that don’t fit local context (ex. email).• Eliminate minutia (ex. research listserv information).
2. Determine performance levels (unsatisfactory, needs improvement, proficient, distinguished).

STEPS TO CREATE EVALUATION TOOL
3. Create forms.– Summative conference form– Pre-observation form– Rubric (professional practice components)
![Page 15: P. Owen & M. Oakleaf, OELMA 2007 A Form of Our Own: Guidelines-Based Assessment of Teacher-Librarians Patricia Owen, NBCT powen@bex.net Megan Oakleaf,](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070305/5515105f550346c77d8b4a97/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
P. Owen & M. Oakleaf, OELMA 2007
BEST PRACTICES FOR CREATING A RUBRIC
• Tie evaluation criteria to the standards.• Identify 3-5 levels of performance.• Educate administrators about ACS; create a
shared performance expectation.• Write clearly.
– Concrete– Concise– Common terminology– Consistent (parallel) construction– Clearly differentiated levels– Quality-focused

CREATING A FORM OF YOUR OWN
• Begin with ACS (library guidelines).http://www.ode.state.oh.us/GD/Templates/Pages/ODE/ODEDetail.aspx?page=3&TopicRelationID=340&ContentID=2489&Content=32808#
• Choose a grade level (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12, K-12).• Consolidate similar indicators, benchmarks,
standards.• Ignore repetitious indicators, benchmarks, standards.• Omit items that don’t fit local context (ex. email).• Eliminate minutia (ex. research listserv information).
• Choose a format that matches the teacher-focused evaluation form.
• Create forms (summative, etc).

CONCLUSION
• T-L’s need evaluation forms of their own.• T-L’s need to help create their evaluation forms.• ACS (library guidelines) provide a framework.• Guideline-based tools reflect all T-L Information
Power roles.
• Guidelines-based tools allow T-L’s to demonstrate their value using evidence-based documentation.
