Our goal is for all school library programs to consistently strive to grow in order to better empower and support our students.
School library programs are complex and multifaceted. It can be a challenge for those outside of the library profession to envision what a strong school library program can look like.
We created the School Library Program Assessment to help MTACs have productive conversation about the school library program, its strengths, and its needs. It is one of many tools that school library media coordinators can use to facilitate these conversations. The School Library Program Assessment was adapted from the AASL School Library Evaluation Checklist, Future Ready Librarians Framework, and YALSA Reimagined Library Services for and with Teens.
We revised the School Library Program Assessment and the School Library Program Report that it generates at the start of the 2020-2021 school year.
This screencast demonstrates step-by-step directions for generating your School Library Program Report.

*Some schools may wish to have MTAC members each take the survey individually, and then compile the individual responses to generate the School Library Program Report. This spreadsheet can help you compile individual survey responses from MTAC members: Compiling Multiple Survey Responses for School Library Program Assessment Data. Contact Susan Bock if you need help with this.
