A team of elementary school teachers participated in the development of a teaching evaluation process, the improvement of individual teaching abilities being the stated goal. This process is distinct in that school management is not directly involved, the evaluation being carried out by the teachers themselves. It provides an alternative method for improving the quality of teaching. It also serves as a basis for making choices regarding the improvement of teaching practice or the refinement of or change in the design of the teaching upon which it is based. The primary goal of the teaching team is to equate teaching practices with ideas.
