Peer Assistance & Review (PAR)

Evaluation has been a major source of confrontation between teacher organizations and administrations throughout the nation. Columbus was not atypical. Although the contractual evaluation process was clearly defined, it was neither positive nor successful. As public concern about teacher quality grew, the CEA leadership faced the question of what role teachers would play in the improvement of their profession. In the mid 1980s, Columbus Superintendent James Hyre approached Columbus Education Association President John Grossman with an idea of the administration and CEA working together to solve problems in the district. The evaluation process was a problem that both sides felt needed reform. A joint committee was formed, and it examined a series of different approaches. The committee was very interested in the extremely innovative Toledo Plan. The joint committee developed a Columbus model based on the concept from Toledo. The name Peer Assistance and Review (PAR) was selected to capture the essence of the program. After more than a year of work, the proposal was presented to the entire school district. It was ratified by a 96 percent vote of the CEA Legislative Assembly and a unanimous vote by the Columbus Board of Education. In the fall of 1985, the PAR Program was implemented. Consulting teachers were selected from the teaching staff of the district after an elaborate process of recommendations and interviews. The PAR Panel was established to govern the PAR Program. Four members are appointed by CEA, and three members are appointed by the superintendent. The CEA President and the Executive Director of Human Resources co-chair the PAR Program. All decisions must pass by a twothirds vote. After more than 20 years, the depth and detail of the information provided has resulted in only a few votes that were not unanimous. PAR is a great example of collaboration between the union and management. In a system with fewer than 5,000 teachers, PAR has served more than 8,500 teachers since it began. PAR is an ideal model of how teachers and administrators can work together as peers to solve major problems.
