Book excerpt: Peer Assistance and Review (PAR) is a promising program to improve the teacher evaluation system and teaching quality more broadly. Under PAR, an innovative approach that uses expert teachers to conduct regular evaluations for novice teachers and underperforming veterans, districts can focus attention on instructional quality, retain the most effective teachers, and dismiss teachers who are not contributing to student learning. Because PAR places some evaluation responsibility on peers and requires a team of teachers and administrators to manage the process, the program is challenging to implement. It holds great potential, however, for improving teacher quality. The authors of this report sought to expand what is known about PAR by examining the program in seven districts across the country, focusing on districts that provide both peer assistance and peer review, where teachers support and evaluate their colleagues in a process that can lead either to continued employment or to dismissal. Approximately 25 individuals were interviewed in each district, including the superintendent or associate superintendent, the teachers union president, other administrators and union representatives, principals, and the expert consulting teachers who work in the program on a daily basis. The authors present what they have learned about designing and implementing an effective PAR program. This report describes PAR and its promise for improving teacher quality, discusses key challenges and common problems districts face as they adopt PAR, suggests what districts can do to implement PAR effectively and ensure that this potential is realized, and offers recommendations for federal and state policymakers who seek to support the development and success of PAR. The following is appended: Summary details of Peer Assistance and Review programs studied. Contains endnotes. [Partial support for this work was provided by Katharine and Al Merck.].

Download or read book Getting Teacher Evaluation Right written by Linda Darling-Hammond and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teacher evaluation systems are being overhauled by states and districts across the United States. And, while intentions are admirable, the result for many new systems is that goodoften excellentteachers are lost in the process. In the end, students are the losers. In her new book, Linda Darling-Hammond makes a compelling case for a research-based approach to teacher evaluation that supports collaborative models of teacher planning and learning. She outlines the most current research informing evaluation of teaching practice that incorporates evidence of what teachers do and what their students learn. In addition, she examines the harmful consequences of using any single student test as a basis for evaluating individual teachers. Finally, Darling-Hammond offers a vision of teacher evaluation as part of a teaching and learning system that supports continuous improvement, both for individual teachers and for the profession as a whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently, there has been a growing interest in the importance of having effective teachers in every classroom. While decades of past research debated factors that affect student achievement, it is now generally common knowledge that teacher quality is the strongest predictor of student success. It would seem, therefore, that further investigations are needed to understand more about strategies to retrain, support, and improve the quality of ineffective teachers. This is especially important for veteran teachers who may have been teaching ineffectively for several years. This study examined how a Peer Assistance and Review (PAR) program in a large urban district provides the conditions for teacher growth and self-efficacy among veteran teachers who have received a below-standard performance evaluation. This qualitative research utilized case study methodology and a purposeful sample of five veteran Participating Teachers (PTs) from elementary and secondary schools, the two Consulting Teachers (CTs) who worked with the PTs in this study, two PAR administrators who oversee the organization of the program, and two members of the PAR panel, which oversees PAR policy and implementation. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, a focus group, and a document review of the program's pamphlets, flyers and website. The conceptual framework for the study was Bandura's four components of self-efficacy: mastery experiences (performance accomplishments), vicarious experiences (observed experiences), social persuasion (performance feedback), and physiological factors (attitude and motivation). The main findings were that PTs' self-efficacy was influenced by the four sources of self-efficacy; however, some components were more prevalent and effective in increasing self-efficacy than others. Furthermore, there are constraints on opportunities for teacher self-efficacy that are built into the structure and operations of the PAR program, as well as district policy. For example, PAR's observation cycle, which involves frequent PT observations followed by extensive feedback, provides the opportunity for PTs to have multiple opportunities for verbal persuasion by a mentor that they trust and respect. Additionally, these observation cycles help PTs to build mastery by having multiple opportunities to practice implementation of new teaching strategies while being coached by their CT. On the other hand, the program does not allow PTs to observe model teaches so they are lacking the opportunity for vicarious experiences. Other findings revealed that the parallel processes of PAR and the district's teacher evaluation system may be counterproductive to growth in PT self-efficacy. Insights from this study could be helpful for other PAR programs with similar demographics, as well as educational leaders who are interested in improving veteran teacher self-efficacy and teacher quality. This study also sheds light on Bandura's framework as it shows how the sources of self-efficacy influenced veteran teachers with prior unsuccessful teaching evaluations. Recommendations for policy and practice include ensuring that PTs have opportunities to observe either demonstration lessons by their consulting teacher or other effective teachers on a regular basis increasing the length of time that a PAR PT works with their CT to at least two years; and suspending the official evaluation process for the PT during the time that the CT is working with their PT.

Book excerpt: Urban school districts are beleaguered with the high attrition rate of teachers. This results in a staff that is largely inexperienced, and a large cost to the district in training and induction programs. Mentoring programs have been linked to new teacher retention, and one particular mentoring program, Peer Assistance and Review (PAR), is widely used by districts to create a structured support system for teachers. This mixed-methods study examined key players from the School District of Philadelphia's PAR program, regarding their successes and failures within the program. By examining the PAR program in depth, we can identify the key components participants perceive to be important to the program, and make recommendations for PAR to meet optimal success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many principals were reluctant to use the Intervention component of PAR, designed to assist struggling veteran teachers. Principals found the referral process to place a teacher on Intervention to be too cumbersome and politically and culturally difficult. Those principals who did utilize Intervention reported it to be useful and preferable to a traditional process. Nonetheless, most principals said that Intervention did not adequately resolve many of the problems of the traditional evaluation system for veteran teachers. Despite these challenges with Intervention, the majority of principals in this study reported that PAR increased the instructional capacity of their schools by providing more effective supervision and evaluation than a traditional system could offer. Furthermore, principals and other stakeholders credited PAR with fostering a collaborative culture focused on instructional improvement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines a policy that is one of the most powerful levers to improve teaching quality and advance teaching as a profession. Jennifer Goldstein presents the story of Rosemont, an urban district in California that created "professional accountability" with peer assistance and review (PAR), an alternative approach to teacher evaluation in which expert teachers evaluate their teacher peers. It challenges a number of long-held beliefs and practices in education, adversarial labour relations, "being nice", hierarchy, isolation, and negligence, to achieve very different teacher evaluation outcomes.
