Library Media Specialist. A separate four-tiered evaluation framework, based upon Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx’x Framework for Library Media Specialists (LMS) will be utilized for the evaluation of LMS’s. An evaluation system that mirrors that of classroom teachers has been established to facilitate practice focused conversations between the LMS and their evaluator. There are some key differences between the evaluation of LMS’s and classroom teachers, otherwise, an LMS evaluation cycle and timelines are the same as a classroom teacher cycle described in Section 9.04. These differences are:
Library Media Specialist. The evaluative procedure and criteria shall be distributed and explained to all certificated employees at the building level by October 15 of each year or when an employee is assigned to a building. Each employee shall have access through the electronic system appropriate to the teacher’s position and track in the evaluation cycle.
Library Media Specialist. The Library Media Specialist shall be appointed by the appointing authority and shall serve in the position in accordance with the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Said appointment shall be for a school year as defined for the professional faculty. Duties and responsibilities of the Library Media Specialist shall include those normally associated with the position and that of a media-specialist. Nothing herein shall exclude the Library Media Specialist from taking on assignments directed by the Superintendent or his designee, namely the Assistant Superintendent-Director and the Academic Coordinator. The daily work schedule for the Library Media Specialist shall commence at 7:30 a.m. and conclude at 2:30 p.m. on Monday; 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday through Thursday and 2:15 p.m. on Friday provided, that the Library Media Specialist shall not leave prior to the departure of the last bus and with the understanding that the work day may be altered (but not increased) by ten (10) minutes, earlier or later, to accommodate student bus transportation.

Library Media Specialist. A separate four-tiered evaluation framework, based upon Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx’x Framework for Library Media Specialists (LMS) will be utilized for the evaluation of LMS’s. An evaluation system that mirrors that of classroom teachers has been established to facilitate practice focused conversations between the LMS and their evaluator. There are some key differences between the evaluation of LMS’s and classroom teachers, otherwise, an LMS evaluation cycle and timelines are the same as a classroom teacher cycle described in Section 9.04. These differences are: Library Media Specialists do not have a defined group of students that they provide instruction to. Therefore, the student growth components of a classroom instructor’s evaluation system do not apply to LMS’s. Library Media Specialists will develop a plan to evaluate the library/media program (criterion 1g). Library Media Specialists will be evaluated at least once every six (6) years on a comprehensive holistic final evaluation. This comprehensive evaluation will be rated based upon evidence contributed by the evaluator and the LMS in four evaluation domains. On years when the LMS is not evaluated on a comprehensive evaluation, a focused evaluation (focus on one domain area) will be used. The last summative comprehensive rating shall be used as the Focused rating score. The evaluation domains of the LMS rubric are: Domain 1: Planning and Preparation Domain 2: Environment Domain 3: Delivery of Service Domain 4: Professional Responsibilities and Leadership The final overall rating of LMS’s is based upon a summative scoring band that takes into consideration the ratings of a LMS in each Domain. The overall summative score is determined by totaling the 4 domain-level scores as follows. Unsatisfactory- 4-6 Basic- 7-10 Proficient-11-14 Distinguished 15-16
