Debra, check out this link

There are links to forms for evaluations from different states. We borrowed
one of those for my evaluations, works pretty good and really gives the
principal an idea of what all we do!

Debra, you can find the official NC Media Coordinator Performance
Appraisal Instrument (MCPAI-R) at the following link:
http://www.ncwiseowl.org/IT/MCPAI/MCPAI.htm
This evaluation form was intentionally designed to be appropriate for
media coordinators K-12, whether they have fixed or flex schedules,
whether there is a tech facilitator in the building or not, etc.

Go to www.psla.org. This state organization has worked for a long time to
develop a comprehensive document.
