Library Teacher Observation Form
The Springfield Public School System’s Library Teacher Performance will be based on the roles and responsibilities of
the Library Teacher presented in National and State standards and rubrics developed by the American Association of
School Librarians and the Massachusetts School Library Association.
An observer will determine if the standards are met by the Library Teacher and if the indicators do not meet (D), meet
(M), or exceed (E) expectations, not observable (NO), or not applicable (NA). Non-observable indicators will be
discussed at the pre and post observation conferences. A library teacher may be required to submit evidence for non-
observable indicators as may be necessary.
All non-observable indicators that would potentially lead to a Does Not Meet (D) in a principle must be indicated at the
2nd post observation conference.
