Description
A step-by-step guide to transforming student learning with value-added analysis
Value-added analysis is the most robust, statistically significant method available for helping educators quantify student progress over time. This book provides a field-tested continuous improvement model for using value-added information to increase student learning in both the classroom and schoolwide. The five-step process shows how to:
- Create the conditions for success
- Examine district, school, and classroom reports to assess strengths and challenges
- Use these reports to create an improvement plan
- Implement instructional changes
- Evaluate and adjust the changes as the new school year starts
