Modelling student growth has been a federal policy requirement
under No Child Left Behind (NCLB). In addition to tracking student
growth, the latest Race To The Top (RTTP) federal education policy
stipulates the evaluation of teacher effectiveness from the
perspective of added value that teachers contribute to student
learning and growth. Student growth modelling and teacher
value-added modelling are complex. The complexity stems, in part,
from issues due to non-random assignment of students into classes
and schools, measurement error in students' achievement scores that
are utilized to evaluate the added value of teachers,
multidimensionality of the measured construct across multiple
grades, and the inclusion of covariates. National experts at the
Twelfth Annual Maryland Assessment Research Center's Conference on
"Value Added Modeling and Growth Modeling with Particular
Application to Teacher and School Effectiveness" present the latest
developments and methods to tackle these issues. This book includes
chapters based on these conference presentations. Further, the book
provides some answers to questions such as what makes a good growth
model? What criteria should be used in evaluating growth models?
How should outputs from growth models be utilized? How auxiliary
teacher information could be utilized to improve value added? How
multiple sources of student information could be accumulated to
estimate teacher effectiveness? Whether student-level and
school-level covariates should be included? And what are the
impacts of the potential heterogeneity of teacher effects across
students of different aptitudes or other differing characteristics
on growth modelling and teacher evaluation? Overall, this book
addresses reliability and validity issues in growth modelling and
value added modelling and presents the latest development in this
area. In addition, some persistent issues have been approached from
a new perspective. This edited volume provides a very good source
of information related to the current explorations in student
growth and teacher effectiveness evaluation.
