Value-added assessment measures student academic growth and progress over time to evaluate teacher and school performance. It uses students' past test scores to predict expected growth and compares that to actual scores, showing which teachers and schools help students progress more or less than anticipated given their starting points. This helps identify effective teaching practices and allocate resources, while controlling for factors like socioeconomics. The approach was pioneered in Tennessee and research shows students taught by multiple highly effective teachers in a row experience much higher achievement gains.

What is Value-Added Assessment?Value-added assessment is a new way of analyzing test dataIt measuresteaching and learning.Based on a review of students' test score gains from previous grades, researchers can predict the amount of growth those students are likely to make in a given year.http://www.cgp.upenn.edu/ope_value.html#1
What is Value-Added Assessment?Value-added assessment can show whether particular students have made the expected amount of progresshave made less progresshave been stretched beyond what they
One could evenlook back over several years to measure the long-term impact that a particular teacheror school had on student achievement!!
This progress metric shows the impact teachers and school have on student achievement.
How is it different from traditional measures?Achievement describes the absolute levels attained by students in their end-of-year tests. Growth, in contrast, describes the progress in test scores made over the school year.http://www.cgp.upenn.edu
What is wrong with achievement?achievement is highly linked to the socioeconomic status of a student's family For example, according to Educational Testing Service, SAT scores rise with every $10,000 of family income. http://www.cgp.upenn.edu
Measuring Growth:value-added assessment measures growth It shows value the school staff added to the students who live in its community It shows how they did with the hand society dealt themIf schools are to be judged fairly, it is important to understand this significant difference.
How does it work?Individual students are traced over timeEach student serves as his or her own "baseline" or controlRemoves virtually all of the influence of the unvarying characteristics of the student, such as race or socioeconomic factors.http://www.cgp.upenn.edu
Test scores are projected for students and then compared to the scores they actually achieve at the end of the school year. Classroom scores that equal or exceed projected values suggest that instruction was highly effective. Conversely, scores that are mostly below projections suggest that the instruction was ineffective
Value-added assessment provides rich diagnostic information, which can be used to:assign personnelallocate resourcesidentify mentor teachers and coachesHelp school districts design comprehensive accountability systems that can assess the impact that particular kinds of teaching, curriculum, and professional development have on academic achievement.
How can it help educators?Educators now have a tool that provides them with the ability to determine their instructional resultsFocus of their instructionUnderstand their instructional impact Provide knowledge of student achievement by classroomShow distinct patterns of growth for students of different achievement levels.http://www.cgp.upenn.edu
What is the history of Value-Added?Value-added was invented by statistician Dr. William Sanders.Lamar Alexander was Governor of Tennessee, Sanders learned that the administration was searching for an objective measure by which schools and educators could be held accountable.It became part of Tennessee's Educational Improvement Act that year and is still in use across the state today.
Can a teacher REALLY have an impact on student growth?Sanders research shows fifth grade students who had three very effective teachers in a row gained 50 percentile points more on the state's assessment than students who had three ineffective teachers.
Why is there such a gap?
Shed PatternTeachers teaching to the struggling learnerhttp://www.tennessee.gov
Reverse Shed PatternTeachers teaching to the top studentshttp://www.tennessee.gov
TeepeeTeachers focusing on the middle studentshttp://www.tennessee.gov
Still not convinced?Research shows chances for fourth-graders in the bottom quartile of performance to pass the state's high-stakes exit exam in ninth grade were less than 15 percent if their fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grade teachers were drawn from the bottom 25 percent of the teacher pool, but a 60 percent chance of passing if they had four teachers drawn from the top 25 percent.Every child deserves teachers who will provide sustained academic growth!!
Is this a gamble YOU are willing to take with YOUR child?
