Jasmine Dutton Kessler – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Teachers in 13 states are evaluated using value-added models (VAMs), a measure of student growth on standardized tests. The problem is that value-added models evaluate intermediate-level teachers' ability to have students perform on a standardized assessment despite other factors affecting students' academic performance, such as socioeconomic…

George Leckie; Richard Parker; Harvey Goldstein; Kate Tilling – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2024
School value-added models are widely applied to study, monitor, and hold schools to account for school differences in student learning. The traditional model is a mixed-effects linear regression of student current achievement on student prior achievement, background characteristics, and a school random intercept effect. The latter is referred to…

Lu, Binwei – British Journal of Educational Studies, 2023
This study compares the estimated grammar school effect in different regression models, and explains why previous evidence of the effectiveness of grammar school is mixed. Like most studies of school effectiveness evaluation, previous research on grammar school effect usually applies regression to control for confounding between-school factors and…

Afsharrad, Mohammad; Pishghadam, Reza; Baghaei, Purya – International Journal of Language Testing, 2023
Testing organizations are faced with increasing demand to provide subscores in addition to the total test score. However, psychometricians argue that most subscores do not have added value to be worth reporting. To have added value, subscores need to meet a number of criteria: they should be reliable, distinctive, and distinct from each other and…

Moore, Rhiannon – School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 2022
Existing research on "school effectiveness" indicates that differences at the school level contribute significantly towards variation in student outcomes; however, less is known about the effectiveness of schooling in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This paper addresses this gap using quantitative analysis of data from two…

Mountjoy, Jack; Hickman Brent R. – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2021
Students who attend different colleges in the U.S. end up with vastly different economic outcomes. We study the role of relative value-added across colleges within student choice sets in producing these outcome disparities. Linking high school, college, and earnings registries spanning the state of Texas, we identify relative college value-added…

The paper presents results from the evaluation of the Teach for Bulgaria (TFB) program, which is part of the Teach for All global network. TFB activities have relevance for a variety of fast-track pathways to the teaching profession. The evaluation is based on a quasi-experimental assessment of teacher performance through student value-added…

William Delgado – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2023
Does student-teacher match quality exist? Prior work has documented large disparities in teachers' impacts across student types but has not distinguished between sorting and causal effects as the drivers of these disparities. I propose a disparate value-added model and derive a novel measure of teacher quality--revealed comparative advantage--that…

Leach, Stephen M.; Yan, Bo – Grantee Submission, 2021
The evidence-based decision-making emphasis in education has largely focused on the adoption of new practices for which evidence of effectiveness exists. Following adoption, however, the focus shifts to improvement and the appropriate evidence needed to support budget decisions must be local, timely, and relevant. Existing evidence used to support…
