Value AddedPresented By: Anil Karim
• New way of Analyzing Test Data•What is Value Added
Predict the amount of growth students will gain
in a given year
Ability to analyze student test results
from previous grades
Measure long term impacts teacher or
school had on past and future student achievement
Track effectiveness of individual teachers and
schools
PURPOSE
• It is a tool created by Statistician Dr. William Sanders that measures progress.
• Provides school leaders with the critical data about its teachers and the academic impact they have on the students.
• Traces student progress over a period of time with a identified baseline.
• Bring awareness to school leaders about their teachers.
• Raise student achievement• Measure instructional
impact• Breakdown student
achievement by classroom, grade, subject, school or district
GOALS
•Closer look at “Value Added”Purpose and Goals
Why we really
need it!!
•FactsFor the value added model
Has been in use in Tennesssee since 1992Fact1
Statewide usage in: Tennessee, Ohio and Pennsylvania Fact 2
Fact 3Implemented in 21 statesSeveral hundred school districts
• Analysis must be seen as FAIR and UNDERSTANDABLE to be Useful
• Data empowers Teachers to Improve their Instruction• Teachers can get a better look at student gains in the classroom
•Value Added is Data Driven“it’s not personal”
1. Teacher Quality is key to improved schools2. Teacher Quality should be measured by
data driven results not by personality, popularity or seniority
3. Teachers should actively be focused on increasing STUDENT PERFORMANCE and ACHIEVEMENT
•Teacher QualityIs essential
According to principal Gregory M. Hodge, “Committed teachers,” who come to work early, stay late, and call parents if children don’t show up can be just the thing students need.
A study conducted in 1998 by the Education Trust found: Students who have several effective teachers in a row make dramatic gains in achievement
•Teachers make a difference
First 10 – 12 Years
• GROWING EFFECTIVENESS
Second 10-12 Years
• HIGHEST EFFECTIVNESS
Third 10-12 Years
• STEADY DECLINE IN EFFECTIVNESSS
•Teacher Effectiveness“Changes Over Time”
If a student is fortunate to have a highly effective teacher for the first three years of school they will be well ahead of the curve.
If a student has an effective teacher they will be on the normal curve of achievement
If a student has a ineffective teacher they will be extremely behind the curve.
•Highly Effective Teachers“prove to have the highest student gains in the classroom”

“Value Added uses TEST SCORES over a PERIOD OF TIME to show individual teacher’s EFFECTIVENESS”
+ means that students gain above a years required material
No Change means that students gains a years required material
- means that students gain below a years required material
• When students are faced with ineffective teachers for a few years they fall behind
• This is hurtful for the students
• we need to shift Focus to Underperforming students and bring them back!
• Maintaining Focus•Shed Patterns
Student Scores
Help Teachers be more EffectiveSchool Leaders will use the data to get teachers the adequate resources to become more effective.
Ensure students grow AcademicallySchool leaders will be able to take students who are falling behind and get them into the right classes so they are able to catch up quickly
