What is a District Peer Review?
The District Peer Review also uses the five Characteristics of Successful Districts to evaluate the effectiveness of district support to a district’s neediest schools. The Peer Review is designed to follow the Self-Assessment and involves a two-day onsite district visit by a team of DPI representatives and exemplary educators. The Peer Review team is generated collaboratively by DPI and the district. This visit is different from a monitoring visit, as the purpose of the Peer Review is to validate the findings of the Self-Assessment and offer support to educators within the district as they design strategies to strengthen the areas of need identified in the Self-Assessment.
