The PAR program is a cornerstone of the evaluation
process within the Professional Growth System. Originally proposed by MCEA, PAR represents a
qualitative shift in how the school system supports and evaluates teachers.
MCPS is one of only a handful of school districts nationally where master teachers share responsibility for ensuring that all teachers meet the school system's high performance standards.
The PAR program is run by a joint panel of representatives from MCEA and from the principals' association (MCAAP).
