Too often school library media specialists shy away from program assessments and fail to seek out the opportunity to participate in the review of their school or district for accreditation purposes. On a smaller scale, but just as critical, is the school library media specialist's reluctance to be judged professionally as his or her fellow teachers are assessed--on classroom management and effective instructional delivery. This paper discusses the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards criteria for school library media specialist certification and the National Study of School Evaluation indicators of quality library media specialist performance.
