====**Program Evaluation is a critical place to begin thinking about changes that might benefit improved student learning. Self assessment of the programs in all the schools should be undertaken with an open mind to the realities of working within an established school culture.**====

**There are some fine examples of rubrics that can be adapted to take a look at the school library media center programs strengths and weaknesses.**
====**Here is a link to the Resources for School Libraries page that lists a variety of assessment tools used by different states. The ones from Maine, Massachusetts, and New York State could be easily adapted and used as guidelines.**====

**In the November/December issue of Knowledge Quest, Maureen Snyder and Janet Roche lay out a plan for evaluating the LMC, "Road Map for Improvement." [[file:road map for improvement.pdf]].**
