Performance Evaluation Advisory Council (PEAC)
Members
Updated April 3, 2013
The Performance Evaluation Advisory Council, or PEAC, is a 32-member body appointed by the Illinois State Board of Education to create a new way to evaluate teachers and principals that incorporates student growth measures.
This change in educator evaluation systems is required by the state Performance Evaluation Reform Act. PEAC members, including teachers, administrators, higher education professionals, and education and union leaders, were appointed in 2010. The group began meeting monthly in March 2010; these meetings are open to the public. The recommendations for evaluation systems the PEAC develops must be approved by the state board of education.
