In recent years, these methods have attracted considerable attention because of their potential applicability for educational accountability, teacher pay-for-performance systems, school and teacher improvement, program evaluation, and research. Value-added methods involve complex statistical models applied to test data of varying quality. Accordingly, there are many technical challenges to ascertaining the degree to which the output of these models provides the desired estimates. Despite a substantial amount of research over the last decade and a half, overcoming these challenges has proven to be very difficult, and many questions remain unanswered--at a time when there is strong interest in implementing value-added models in a variety of settings. The National Research Council and the National Academy of Education held a workshop, summarized in this volume, to help identify areas of emerging consensus and areas of disagreement regarding appropriate uses of value-added methods, in an effort to provide research-based guidance to policy makers who are facing decisions about whether to proceed in this direction."--Publisher's description. 606 $aEducational indicators$zUnited States 606 $aTeacher effectiveness$xEvaluation 606 $aTeachers$xRating of$zUnited States 615 0$aEducational indicators 615 0$aTeacher effectiveness$xEvaluation. 615 0$aTeachers$xRating of 676 $a371.1440973 701 $aBraun$b Henry I.$f1949-$0103821 701 $aChudowsky$b Naomi$01608694 701 $aKoenig$b Judith A$01495660 712 02$aNational Academy of Education. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCenter for Education. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809046603321 996 $aGetting value out of value-added$93935578 997 $aUNINA
