    Summary:

    • The Dallas Librarian Appraisal instrument has been designed to provide a more holistic and accurate assessment of a librarian's performance.
    • The appraisal instrument will ensure the effective operation of our libraries and support professional growth.

    Inquiry & Innovation
    Recognizing the importance of emerging technologies and inquiry skills, librarians are appraised on their efforts to promote digital literacy, inquiry, and creative thinking skills among students and staff.

    Family & Community Partnerships
