Charlotte Danielson's domains for teacher evaluation but
replaces her second domain with the Library Environment. All

evaluation system is designed for both self-assessment and job

10. COMMENTS OF INDIVIDUALS
“I had my evaluation completed by my principal and I was
needing a few things:
Conduct a student/parent/teacher survey
Develop a 3-year media specialist plan that will be a living document and will
be updated each school year
Find an evaluation for the library program (Hawkins, K. (2013). AAIM
Listserv)”
What is my three-year plan?
What evidences or artifacts do I provide?
