Topics covered include:

• Peer review in operation
• Peer review and professionalism
• Peer review in collective bargaining
• The union stake in peer review

• The impact of peer review on principals
• The real costs of peer review
• Teacher protection under peer review
• "Due process" under peer review

The NEA and AFT claim to be "reinventing the union" to give student achievement the highest priority. "Peer review" is the cornerstone of "the new unionsim"; supposedly, teachers and their unions will assume the responsibility for helping teachers improve or guiding them out of the profession. In this analysis, Myron Lieberman shows that peer review falls far short of the claims made for it by the leading proponents of peer review.
