The problems of data collection and assessment were compounded in October 2009, when the revision of the Library Media A Level Program standards by the Alabama State Department of Education tripled the number of standards.
![Page 19: Design Considerations for a Multi-Purpose Teacher Education Portfolio Template](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816136550346895dd091dc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Obviously, the amount of data submitted by teacher candidates using the current method of course CDs and individual LiveText assignment collection was overwhelming.

There were simply too many individual pieces that needed to be assessed for too many purposes to make for the current method to be practical or even workable.

An additional concern—The artificial divisions in the school library media knowledge base created by the alignment of standards with particular courses.
