- An Improved "Form of Our Own": A 21st Century Approach to School Librarian Evaluation Owen, Patricia L. School Libraries Librarians Personnel Evaluation Job Performance Evaluation Methods Evaluation Criteria National Standards Standard Setting Performance Technology Records (Forms) School librarians need evaluation forms that fit their unique roles and responsibilities and acknowledge both the similarities and differences between classroom teachers and school librarians. The incorporation of American Association of School Librarians' (AASL's) "Empowering Learners: Guidelines for School Library Programs"--a resource that sets the standards for school librarians and articulates the five roles required of today's school librarians--and the use of a Praxis-type format provide a solid framework for such evaluation forms. These tools allow school librarians to demonstrate their value and advocate for themselves using evidence-based documentation in conversations with their principals. Reflective school librarians welcome the opportunity to participate in the creation of a form of their own that achieves these multiple goals. (Contains 5 figures.)
