APPR issues
1.  Composite Effectiveness Score out of 60 points:
1/3 from artifacts (20%)
2/3 from observations (40%)

2.  State growth score will come in the form of a SLO (student learning objective) for elementary librarians; secondary librarians will be evaluated using past practice measures

3.  State growth score will be based on growth in a librarian's 3rd grade classes from pre-test (October) to post-test (June); target is 5 percentage points.  Record scores electronically on previously e-mailed roster sheet with a separate sheet for each class.  The target column will automatically populate.

4.  Local measures for elementary librarians will be achievement (percentage passing) on post-test for the same population as the SLO

5.  Observations will earn a point score out of 4 with each category earning a rating on the 1-4 scale. An average will be created and those averages will be used for the end-of-year.  Only two highest observation scores will be used for tenured teachers (4 for non-tenured).

6.  Danielson Rubric
a.  Donains 1, 2, and 3 will be the focus for observations.
b.  Teachers will submit artifacts for the 20% (remember 1/3 of your points out of the 60 will come from artifacts)
Artifacts selection is determined by the teacher and self-assessed in collaboration with and input from supervisor

7.  Review of observation form

8.  Review of Student Learning Objective Template
a.  librarian's responsibility: complete Population section and roster template; save both!
b.  editing suggestions?
