Value-Added in Arizona: Specifics, Statistics, and Impact

Sun, April 15, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Marriott Pinnacle, Floor: Third Level, Pinnacle I

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

Econometricians and statisticians at all educational levels continue to explore more sophisticated analytical methods to capture the value a teacher adds to student learning from one year to the next. While value-added models have been shown to be superior to analyzing student academic progress via Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) measures, critics continue to question value-added models’ levels of reliability, validity, and whether indeed value-added data can or are being used to improve, not just report on, teachers and schools. In this session, a set of university, charter school, and public school district value-added researchers from the state of Arizona examine these issues from multiple vantage points and methodological perspectives.
