[quote=Anonymous]Peer review in a K-12 environment or having a retired principal observe teachers is a VERY ineffective evaluation model. Its subjective, far to biased on social and personality dynamics, and unintentionally rewards lack of change rather than innovation to improve education.

My child's 1st grade teacher is a complete air head and terrible teacher because she is so scattered. The parents and the kids all know how ineffective she is BUT she's a very nice person. I know that several parents have raised issues but the response is always we observe her and think she's just a wonderful teacher. If you asked the parents to rate the teacher and the staff to rate the teacher you would see a huge gap. The teacher in the class is far better but not as popular with the staff. I'm sure school staff would rate her lower than the air headed one which is sad.

If you compare the outcomes of students in terms of how much they learned over the year, you would have a much fairer and effective evaluation. [/quote]
