Re: 2016-2017 Ga DOE Library Media Center Program Self-Evaluation
Otis J. Brock, III. Elementary has just recently completed the 2015 Ga DOE Library Media
Center Program Self-Evaluation. This rubric is broken into six different areas with
subcategories for each. Listed below are the results of the rubric and ways I believe we can
utilize to raise up the rank. In the table below, B is Basic, P is Procient, and E is Exemplary.

Category 1- Student Achievement and Instruction

Indicator

Rank

Action Steps

1. Information Literacy Standards

2. Collaborative Planning

3. Media Specialist is engaged in active

teaching

As the LMTS, I am working with the

teachers to collaborate using our learning
labs, online created modules for various
grade-levels, and use of our Google TV to
augment curriculum and add information
literacy to what they are learning. I intend
to get better with this as more teachers
become interested and I can have more
resources created.

4. Media center resources support

reading

The LMS will meet with ELA and Reading

teachers to discuss curriculum maps, and
lesson plans to know what books/novels the
teacher will use for each semester. The
LMS can then pull resources for extended
learning and activities that support the
efforts of the classroom teacher. The LMS
can then come into the classroom to
promote certain activities and books related
to the current unit or lesson.

5. Services available for diverse

learners

6. Student achievement is assessed

LMS and teachers can work together to

create tools for assessing student

achievement.
Category 2- Technology
7. Technology Management

8. Technology Integration

Category 3- Staffing
9a. State mandated library service
requirement

9b. State mandated full time library

media specialist requirement

Currently, having to trouble shoot

technology that is broken from the move,
taking inventory, and being sure all items
are present has cut into time in the library.
Currently, I have a .5 that comes twice to
three times weekly.

Category 4- Facilities, Access and Resources

10. Flexible Scheduling

11. Square footage requirement

12. Streaming video throughout school

13.Print and non print resources and

access to online information

14. Efficient resource management and

access to OPAC

15. GALILEO access and instruction

Category 5- Administrative Support

16. County media liaison appointed

17. County/ Administrative support of a

strong library program

All drops have been put in, also a Grant for

new broadcast material has been accepted
and new equipment is arriving.

LMTS will begin pushing Galileo more and

integrate it even more in research projects
with help from the teachers. Ongoing
training will continue to try and raise this to
an E.

18. Library media committee

established

19. Library media Policy is current

20. Library media budget is allocated

Working on gathering a library media

committee and am in the process of
organizing it. I plan for this committee to
evaluate the library program on a regular
basis, help reach out to stake holders, and
to insure the library can reach the potential
of a collaboration space for reading,
research, and technological collaboration
projects.

Category 6- Staff Development

21. Staff development opportunities
available

Staff development is always ongoing at

Brock.
