Teachers,
I have rounded up a few articles that inform you about
'value-added' systems of evaluation. One point to clarify, though. I
was slightly off in my general description of the process (last night in
class), to save time. Students' scores compared to averaged students'
scores is not the metric; changes in students' test scores are compared
to average changes in students' test scores. So, the rate and direction
of change is compared to a mean rate of change.
Sorry to muddy an already murky concept. As you read, feel free to
email questions (or submit them to Ask Us Anything). Thanks.
