About PAR
Peer Assistance and Review (PAR) is a partnership between the Oakland Education Association (OEA) and the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD). The PAR program supports OUSD teachers to develop their practice and grow as professionals. Our team provides coaching support to three categories of teachers:
Beginning Teachers (teachers with less than 3 years experience)
Volunteer Teachers (permanent teachers interested in coaching support)
Referred Teachers (teachers referred for coaching support through the evaluation process)
PAR is governed by an OEA/OUSD Joint Committee that selects and oversees the team of Consulting Teachers, and administers the PAR program according to Article XXV of the OEA contract.
