Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Evaluation of the Career Development Pilot Program Appeals Process
The primary conclusion of this study of the pilot program appeals process is that it works well at the initial peer panel level, but it has serious shortcomings at the board hearing stage. The appeals procedure adopted by the State Board of Education in May, 1987, limits the panel review to (a) whether proper procedures are followed in the evaluation of an educator and (b) whether the recommendation is arbitrary or capricious.
The statute establishing the pilot program, gsllsc 363, prescribes the composition of a three-member panel of trained evaluators so that both parties have equal influence in the selection process. Hearings are structured so both parties have equal opportunity to present their cases. Panelists review the performance appraisal information used to make the summative ratings and determine if it is reasonably consistent with those ratings and gathered according to the prescribed procedures. This review provides a second opinion by a panel of professionals of the same judgment-call based on the same data as was used in the original evaluation. Supposedly the panel as a whole is neutral because both parties were equally involved in the choice of panel members.
