A comprehensive school library media program, led by a certified school library media specialist, should support standards and school goals and be evaluated to improve library media services. The School Librarian Evaluation System (SLEI) aligns with the AASL National School Library Standards for Learners, School Librarians, and School Libraries, ALA/AASL 2010 Standards for Initial Preparation of School Librarians, and the ISTE Standards for Coaches.

The Future Ready Library goals of connecting real-world learning to the school environment are also integrated in the performance standards. The SLEI is an evaluation instrument that will allow the state to ensure consistency and comparability across districts, based on a common definition of highly qualified school library media specialists who support and enrich school environments.
