Regional Peer Review Panels: Background Where did the idea come from to create and establish the regional Peer Review Panels? ESEA Waiver and Educator Effectiveness workgroup Collaboration with other states The PRP guidelines and criteria support the work of school districts to assure educator quality through a comprehensive district educator evaluation system that: establishes a common understanding of expectations for educator quality within the district; emphasizes the professional growth and continuous improvement of individual educators; creates an organizational approach to the collective professional growth and continuous improvement of groups of educators to support district goals; provides quality assurance for the performance of all district educators; assures fair, accurate, and consistent evaluations; and provides district educators a role in guiding the ongoing system development in response to systematic feedback and changing district needs.
