  3. 2007 • RCW 28A.320.240School Library Media Programs • The purpose of this section is to identify quality criteria for school library media programs that support the student learning goals under RCW 28A.150.210, the essential academic learning requirements under RCW 28A.655.070, and high school graduation requirements adopted under RCW 28A.230.090. • (2) Every board of directors shall provide for the operation and stocking of such libraries as the board deems necessary for the proper education of the district's students or as otherwise required by law or rule of the superintendent of public instruction. • (3) "Teacher-librarian" means a certified teacher with a library media endorsement under rules adopted by the professional educator standards board. • (4) "School-library media program" means a school-based program that is staffed by a certificated teacher-librarian and provides a variety of resources that support student mastery of the essential academic learning requirements in all subject areas and the implementation of the district's school improvement plan. • (5) The teacher-librarian, through the school-library media program, shall collaborate as an instructional partner to help all students meet the content goals in all subject areas, and assist high school students completing the culminating project and high school and beyond plans required for graduation.

  4. 2008 • Three Spokane Moms and WLMA help rally the Legislature to provide $4 million to school districts for upgrading library materials. Budget cuts forced this money to NOT be allocated in the 2009/20011 biennium. • Mobilized WLMA Advocacy Efforts

  5. 2009 • HB 2261 passes which sets up the prototype school model along with other educational reforms that help redefine basic education. • This prototype school model creates the basis for FTE allocations to school district and includes teacher librarians, library materials, and technology funds at each of the three levels (elementary, middle and high school) as part of what is funded for basic education. • This shows legislative intent that state dollars are to be used for these functions even if it is not mandated.

  6. 2010 • HB 2776 passes • This bill took existing dollars spent by the state per students and re-allocated them into the new prototype school model. • This reaffirmed the spending of state dollars on teacher-librarians, library materials, and technology.

  7. 2011 • SB 5392 passes • This bill made the teaching of technology literacy and fluency part of the basic education learning goals for the state of Washington—putting the education technology EALRs into statute.

  8. 2012 and Beyond • Continued work on state budgets with implementing the new prototype school allocation model. • Continued work to reaffirm the intent from the state that districts should be funding school libraries and have teacher-librarians as part of basic education. • Locally, teacher-librarians need to work with their districts (including parents and community members) to ensure that district officials are following the intent of the prototype school models as defined in 2010. • Instructional Frameworks and TPEP trainings begin.

  9. TPEP for TLs • Who is included in “certificated classroom teachers?” • The revised evaluation system is built around the criteria in RCW 28A.405.100; reviewing the criteria and instructional frameworks is advised. A certificated employee who is providing academically focused instruction to students, regardless of the size of the class, should be considered a “classroom teacher.” • Classroom teachers typically include: • Core Content Area (English L/A, Mathematics, Science, History/Social Studies) • Phyical Education • Music • Art • Special Education • Other electives • Certificated classroom teachers may also include librarians and instructional coaches/TOSAs, if they provide academically-focused instruction to students.

  10. WLMA’s Position • WLMA believes that Teacher-Librarians should be evaluated as certificated teachers under the new teacher evaluation procedures since our primary focus should be improving student learning. • WLMA understands that there are three approved instructional frameworks around the state for use in the evaluation process. • WLMA is pleased that there is a specific rubric for Teacher-Librarians using the Charlotte Danielson framework and encourages members to use this rubric if their district has adopted the Danielson model. • WLMA also believes Teacher-Librarians across the state should use the LIT document to help evaluate their library programs. • WLMA would encourage its members to bargain locally with district administrators to use the Danielson rubric for Teacher-Librarians if they are a Marzano or UW CEL district. According to RCW 28A.405.100 6(e), “The superintendent of public instruction shall establish a process for approving minor modifications or adaptations to a preferred leadership framework that may be proposed by a school district.”

  11. TPEP as Advocacy • TPEP maybea choice for you and can be a great way to advocate for your profession/position. • Districts have different takes on how to include specialists. • Here are some stories…
