This week’s “question of the week” is:

What Is Peer Assistance & Review (PAR) & How Does It Work?

Please share your thoughts in the comments -- especially if you have direct experience with PAR, or, if you prefer, feel free to email them to me. The responses to these questions are going to turn into a two-part series, so there will be plenty of room for contributions from readers.
