In a provocative and influential paper, Jesse Rothstein (2010) finds that standard value added models (VAMs) suggest implausible future teacher effects on past student achievement, a finding that obviously cannot be viewed as causal. This is the basis of a falsification test (the Rothstein falsification test) that appears to indicate bias in VAM…

Determining Relationships between Predictive Factors of High School Dropout and Student Engagement
Direct linkDirect link
Meagher, Jennifer L. – ProQuest LLC, 2010
Over the past several years, educational leaders and researchers have tried to find the causes for high school dropout.
