LYNN DOYLE-MEDIA PROGRAM SELF-EVALUATION OF SCREVEN COUNTY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL(SCES)-9-19-2014

A summary is provided at the bottom of each page for each category listed on that page*The following pictures will be used at each level of proficiency:

= BASIC = PROFICIENT = EXEMPLARY

I have concluded that the overall level of proficiency in category 1-#s 1-6:Student Achievement Instruction would fall in the proficient range for SCES. The MS meets

with the grade levels to discuss their grades need for the upcoming year and makes sure that if materials/resources are needed that she includes them in her budget.

She looks at the grade levels curriculum maps as well to help her make decisions on what she can do to help support the classroom teacher. In the area of #3: the MS


2/9

is no longer involved in the active teaching role. SCES is too large for the MS to really be able to go into the classrooms and provide assistance in instruction or

extension of the classroom instruction. Our system technology coach is basically responsible for providing this type of support to the classroom teacher. Our school

needs a full-time MS AND technology coach in order to meet ALL needs that should be provided on the information literacy standards.


3/9

SCES does have a FULL-TIME MS that is only responsible for the SCES media center. It also has a full-time parapro. However, this STILL truly is not enough help to

support our large school. With the number of students that visit the library & the daily number of books checked-out & checked-in, MORE help is needed!


4/9

The library has flexible schedule as far as students visiting the library at any time during school hours: 7:30-2:15. The SCES library is not available before or after school

hours. The MS is available most of the day, but her time is VERY limited as far as being able to serve teachers. MOST of her time is being used for checking out/in

materials. The 2 computer labs in the library have a fixed schedule. Teachers have an opportunity to sign up for an available time slot to use the schools programs,

but those that do not sign up are assigned a time that they can visit the labs. The library is a fairly nice size, but could REALLY use a facelift in order to meet the 21st

century learner needs.


5/9

SCES library is equipped with 2 computer labs that teachers have a fixed schedule for visiting and having their students work on programs like MobyMax, Star Testing,

or Thinkgate assessments. SCES uses the web-based library management system Book Systems Atriuum. The MS really likes the program and has shown me several

features of the program and I was able to check out/in books, catalog & print labels.


6/9

I am MOST frustrated with our schools usage OR rather LACK of usage of Galileo! Our teachers are not trained on this wonderful resource! We are sent

an email 4 times a year with the new password, but thats IT! This resource is not used in our school system at all. We have a MS at each school, a

system technology coach, and 2 instructional coaches and NO ONE trains our teachers and students on how to use this tool. I have actually used it some

with my students and plan to have a PD session so that teachers are aware of all of the tools available to them and the students.


7/9

Our school system has what seems to be much administrative support. We have the system technology director, 2 system technology support specialists, a technology

coach & a MS at all 3 schools. There is also a technology committee at all 3 schools, & an AR committee at SCES. These committees meet once a month. There is also

a system technology committee that meets quarterly. There are school web sites at each school as well as a district site.


8/9

Each MS at the 3 schools are responsible for their own budget & spending with Admin input at each school. This summer the MS ordered a birthday book for EVERY

child in the school to have a book for their birthday. The kids have enjoyed receiving their birthday book!


9/9

The MS is no longer involved in the active teaching role. SCES is too large for the MS to really be able to go into the classrooms and provide assistance in instruction

or extension of the classroom instruction. Our system technology coach is basically responsible for providing this type of support to the classroom teacher. Our school

needs a full-time MS AND technology coach in order to meet ALL needs that should be provided on the information literacy standards. MANY of the lessons I have

learned about the role of the MS and how actively involved the MS should be is not happening at SCES!
