Workshop Presentation by Sara Kelly Johns:

REAL Evaluation for School Librarians: Making the New York Annual Professional Performance Review Model Work for You
Annual Professional Performance Reviews (APPR) are now a reality for teachers in many states. When this process was announced in New York, the state’s school librarians immediately advocated for an consistent evaluation instrument that accurately reflects what we really do. Join Sara, past president of AASL, to learn how NY State school librarians’ experiences can assist New Jersey school librarians to meet their own evaluation challenges.

Workshop Presentation by Marc Aronson:

Common Core and Non-Fiction in the SLMC

A professor at Rutgers University’s School of Information and Communication, Marc is an award-winning children’s and YA author, book reviewer, SLJ columnist, editor, historian, and publisher. He brings a fresh and significant perspective to the ways in which the Common Core State Standards will affect library media specialists and their programs.
