The Quality Assurance Program for Learning Resources Specialists is part of the Houston, Texas, Plan for Excellence and addresses the renewal and professional growth opportunities for the specialists. The program is administered by a bi- or tri-dimensional assessment team that may consist of the principal, an instructional supervisor, and the associate and/or deputy superintendent. Steps of the program, the components of the assessment, and the responsibilities of the team members are outlined in the manual. Assessment instruments designed to parallel the teachers' assessment instrument include instructional proficiencies, management system and professional characteristics, and proficiency certification. The appendixes, comprising over half the document, contain the different instruments and forms, a sample memorandum of record, and a manual for the classroom observation assessment instrument. (MLF)
