New York State assessment rubric for teacher librarian


Donna Curley-Izzo

Dr. L posted this link in a class email and suggested someone post it here as a topic of discussion, maybe not right now but when we get to assessment.

However I would like to post a comment right now. From what I have been reading, 21st century learning is moving away from lengthy lists of discrete descriptors and instead, focuses on deep understanding of broad concepts and essential skills. In my opinion this rubric is the opposite of 21st century learning is supposed to be. It is too wordy and rather intimidating. I am wondering who will be evaluating the teacher librarian. It certainly can't be one administrator since it would take multiple observations and examination of a tremendous amount of data to assess each of the descriptors.
