F. The PDD shall be evaluated by the superintendent of the teacher's school district and by two external reviewers, one of whom shall hold a library/media endorsement, as follows:
(1) The superintendent will complete the
verification and evaluation strands in order to make his recommendation for
licensure advancement and the two external reviewers will rate the three
competency strands as "exceeds standards," "meets standards" or "does not meet
standards to make their recommendations for licensure advancement."
(2) Each one of the three competency strands
of a librarian-teacher's PDD reviewed by the independent reviewers must be
rated as either "exceeds standards" or "meets standards" and each one of the
strands completed by the superintendent must be verified and have a positive
recommendation for the librarian-teacher to advance to the next higher level of
licensure.
(3) The superintendent
and the reviewers will submit the PDD to the department or its contractor with
their ratings.
(4) The department
will evaluate the ratings of the superintendent and the external reviewers and
approve or deny the teacher's application for licensure advancement.
(a) If one of the external reviewers rates
one of the competency strands of the PDD as "exceeds standards" and the other
external reviewer rates the same strand as "meets standards", the strand will
be deemed passed.
(b) If one of the
external reviewers rates one of the competency strands of the PDD as "does not
meet standards" and the other rates the same strand as "exceeds standards", the
finding will be that the candidate "meets standards" and the strand will be
deemed passed.
(c) If one of the
external reviewers rates one of the competency strands of the PDD as "does not
meet standards" and the other rates the same strand as "meets standards," a
third reviewer will resolve the discrepancy in order to determine if the strand
will be passed.
(d) If both of the
external reviewers rate the competency strand(s) of PDD the same, that rating
will be their finding. If, however, both of the external reviewers rate the
competency strand(s) of the PDD as "does not meet standards," a third trainer
or reviewer may review the strand(s) to confirm or reject their
ratings.
G. A candidate for licensure advancement who is not successful in the PDD may continue to submit a new PDD.
H. If a candidate for licensure advancement meets or exceeds standards in one or some of the strands, but not in all of them, the librarian-teacher's score(s) of "meets standards" or "exceeds standards" may be retained for a period of two calendar years. Any resubmission of a PDD during that two-year period need only address those strands rated "does not meet standards" to determine a final passing score for all strands for licensure advancement.
