My problem with this is that incompetent government officials are making this recomendation, wouldn't we all like to give them a review.

A review process for all teachers should be looked at as a good thing. The ATA over reacts to everything, and of course they respond with the ole'"we need more funding to do a better job" (via a union rep who was on global Tues morning). The union reaction alone justifies a true review process IMO. Maybe the province should have sugar coated it a little and used the term development plan.

Peer to peer evaluations are proven to be effective, honest and educational and are used in all profesions. I would like to think that an evaluation is a much better process for teacher preformance review then class scores or how their grade preforms on achievement tests. Reviews should be done to determine and identlfy who would need further or different training and who is doing a great job, not to revoke teaching licences.
