      This part of the article was so disheartening... "Evaluations are to make us look good-they affect or rating and certification. Coaching and development-should be done among friends." PD is about learning, and the goal of any assessment should be recognition of what's already done well and identification of areas that can be strengthened. That's what we expect from students...why should it be any different for us as professionals? PD should be a chance to learn, grow, and share as professionals, not a punitive process or a dog-and-pony show. It's so disheartening that bad PD practices continue to reinforce these concepts.
