Attainment and Gain• Attainment – a “point in time” measure of student
proficiency– compares the measured proficiency rate with a
predefined proficiency goal.
• Gain – measures average gain in student scores from one year to the next
Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade 5 Grade 6 Grade 7 Grade 8

Value-Added• A kind of growth model that measures the
contribution of schooling to student performance on the standardized tests
• Uses statistical techniques to separate the impact of schooling from other factors that may influence growth
• Focuses on how much students improve on the tests from one year to the next as measured in scale score points
Value-Added Model Definition• A value-added model (VAM) is a quasi-experimental
statistical model that yields estimates of the contribution of schools, classrooms, teachers, or other educational units to student achievement, controlling for non-school sources of student achievement growth, including prior student achievement and student and family characteristics.
• A VAM produces estimates of productivity under the counterfactual assumption that all schools serve the same group of students. This facilitates apples-to-apples school comparisons rather than apples-to-oranges comparisons.
• The objective is to facilitate valid and fair comparisons of productivity with respect to student outcomes, given that schools may serve very different student populations.
A More Transparent (and Useful) Definition of VA
• Value-added productivity is the difference between actual student achievement and predicted student achievement.
• Or, value-added productivity is the difference between actual student achievement and the average achievement of a comparable group of students (where comparability is defined by a set of characteristics such a prior achievement, poverty and ELL status).

VARC Philosophy
• Development and implementation of a value-added system should be structured as a continuous improvement process that allows for full participation of stakeholders
• Model Co-Build; Complete customization– Analysis – Reporting
• Value–added is one tool in a toolbox with multiple indicators
VARC Value-Added Partners• Design of Wisconsin State Value-Added System (1989)• Minneapolis (1992)• Milwaukee (1996)• Madison (2008)• Wisconsin Value-Added System (2009)• Milwaukee Area Public and Private Schools (2009)• Racine (2009)• Chicago (2006)• Department of Education: Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) (2006 and 2010)• New York City (2009)• Minnesota, North Dakota & South Dakota: Teacher Education Institutions and Districts

Measuring knowledge
• Many factors influence what a student learns and how their knowledge is measured
• A variety of measures, including (but not limited to) assessments, tell us what a student knows at a point in time.
• What are some ways we measure knowledge?
Measuring knowledgeLarge scale assessments Local assessments used by the district
Daily teacher assessments Observations
MAP WKCE Diagnostic Test End-of-course Exam
Daily Journal Unit Project After-school Activities Hands-on Project
The Simple Logic of Value-Added Analysis
• School Value-Added Report– School specific data– Grade level value-added
• Comparison Value-Added Reports– Compare a school to other schools in the district,
CESA, or state– Also allows for grade level comparisons
• Tabular Data available for School Report and Comparison Reports
Attainment and Value-Added
How complex should a value-added model be?
• Rule: "Simpler is better, unless it is wrong.“
• Implies need for “quality of indicator/ quality of model” diagnostics.
Model Features
• Demographics• Posttest on pretest link• Measurement error• Student mobility: dose model• Classroom vs. teacher: unit vs. agent• Differential effects• Selection bias mitigation: longitudinal data• Test property analysis
MAP vs. ISAT
• MAP dates: September, January, May• MAP: uses Rasch equating
– ISAT: 3PL• MAP: slightly higher reliability - ~0.96 in
math, ~0.94 in reading– ISAT math ~0.93, reading ~0.9
• Cut scores on MAP are determined by equipercentile equating to ISAT
