Historical Perspective
During the 2016-2017 school year, six schools in the Cobb County School District are engaged in a proof of concept for the School Librarian Evaluation Instrument, developed by the Georgia School Library Media Consortium, in an effort to better evaluate a 21st century library media specialist. Special thanks to the library media specialists and evaluators at King Springs ES, Eastvalley ES, Frey ES, McClure MS, Awtrey MS, and Hillgrove HS for their leadership in this work.
During the 2017-2018 school year, all schools in the Cobb County School District used the School Librarian Evaluation Instrument to evaluate library media specialists. At the end of the 2017-2018 school year, over 90% of library media specialists felt that the SLEI was a positive, productive assessment.
