Austin ISD and the Librarian Appraisal Work Group, which consists of librarians, campus administrators, and Human Capital staff, revised the Librarian Appraisal System in the 2023-2024 school year to align with the multi-measure systems used to evaluate teachers, counselors, and campus administrators. The Librarian Appraisal System now includes a compensation component, in the form of a stipend, based on the overall final rating.

The appraisal covers 4 areas:

• Library Standards Rubric
• Professional Growth & Responsibilities 
• Goal Setting
• School-wide Value-Added 

LAS Goal

The goal of the Librarian Appraisal System is to provide alignment of the work of librarians, promote professional growth for all librarians, encourage more frequent, timely, and formative feedback, and to incorporate multiple indicators of success.

LAS Framework

The Librarian Appraisal System uses a final rating scale with 5 rating categories: Ineffective, Progressing, Effective, Highly Effective, and Distinguished. All components will be multiplied by the percentage numbers and added together for a final score that will fall along the final rating scale. Librarians will receive a final rating based on the total score.

Stipend Incentive

In order to recruit and retain effective librarians, AISD librarians are eligible to earn one-time stipends for an Effective or better final rating on their summative score. 

Stipend eligibility and amount will be determined annually at the close of each evaluation cycle.
