Peer Assistance & Evaluation Program

I. History
The Peer Appraisal Program was initiated as a result of an agreement made between the Cincinnati Federation of Teachers (CFT) and the Cincinnati Public Schools in the Collective Bargaining Contract effective March 11, 1985

II. Purpose
The Peer Assistance and Evaluation Program has two major roles. First, through its Apprentice Component, it seeks to assist teachers in their first year in the Cincinnati Public Schools in refining their teaching skill and orienting them to Cincinnati Public Schools, including its goals, curriculum, and structure. Through this component, each teacher is evaluated and assisted by a consulting teacher who evaluates his/her performance. This evaluation is used to determine a teacher’s teaching category and/or determine renewal or non-renewal of a teacher’s contract.
