Subject: Judy Serritella Exemplary/Exceptional Library Media Program of the Year Award
Rubric
I have recently completed a rubric for the Judy Serritella Exemplary/Exceptional Library Media
Program of the Year Award. Each year the Georgia Library Media Association and the Georgia
Library Association use this rubric to recognize six schools with exemplary or exceptional
performance in the media center. This award identifies school media programs which encourage
and engage students in the areas of critical thinking, reading, research, and ethical use of
information. The judging criteria is divided into six sections: vision, building collaborative
partnerships, the role of reading, teaching for learning, building the learning environment, and
empowering learning through leadership. I have identified three of the six sections as basic and
one as proficient. I have included an action plan with the steps necessary to improve the media
center and the overall rating.
Action Plan
Vision:
The media specialist will meet with the literacy committee as well as administrators to create a
mission statement for the media center. The literacy committee will use the mission statement to
create short term and long term goals and objectives for the media center. The mission statement
will focus on reading as a foundation for student learning, growth, and enjoyment. The literacy
committee will also create a plan to acquire non-print materials for the media center and will
focus on having these materials accessible to students at all times.
