I WAS just going to reply to the sender, honest I was, but this is so
central to our whole discussion of the difference between an aide and a
librarian.  We need to be evaluated on our three functions:  1)
library/media center administrator; 2) literacy advocate; 3) information
literacy teacher.  Does anyone actually get evaluated on these three
fields?  I am simply evaluated on the same instrument as the other
teachers which leaves out all the administrative functions such as
supervison and training of personnel; selection, aquizition, and
cataloging of materials; technology guru; curriculum diva; etc.

My school, private, Catholic 9-12, is 7 years old and currently in the
process of evaluating staff (not faculty) for the first time.  Faculty
have never been formally evaluated.  Evaluation forms for staff are sent
to parents, faculty, administration and students.

These are rather generic forms that slightly vary according to job
discriptions.  This past week the evaluation forms for the librarian
(me, who holds a fauclty contract) and the principal's secratary came
out.  They were exactly the same for both position,  such as do I dress
properly for the position and do I retrieve mail efficiently.  It was
quite obvious my principal has no idea what I do.

I'm hoping some of you may be able to help me.  How are you evaluated by
your administrators?  What kind of information should they be looking
for to determine whether I'm doing my job properly.

Any help would be appreciated.
