Florida A&M University Elementary and secondary educators are discovering what higher education faculty have always known-Peer Assistance and Review (PAR) programs work! Both new and veteran teachers can improve and update their knowledge and skills by linking with "consulting" teachers who provide support through observation, modeling, and sharing of information. PAR programs can strengthen teacher professionalism, improve teacher quality, and ultimately enhance student learning, if done well. Anderson and Pellicer, two nationally renowned educators, chart a course for developing and implementing an effective PAR program based on long-standing successful programs. Easy-to-read sections highlight:
  • What is teacher peer assistance and review?
  • Ten essential questions to ask before you begin
  • Criteria, standards, and data
  • Key players and their roles, relationships, and responsibilities
  • Reporting and using the results
Useful Web sites, sample forms, job descriptions, and applications, and an example of an educational policy trust agreement offer practical how-to help. Both administrators and teachers interested in understanding and incorporating a Peer Assistance Review program will find this book an essential guide.
