tandfonline.com – Student perception surveys for K-12 teacher evaluation in the United States: A survey of surveys

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: Abstract Abstract In this overview piece, we document the six student perception surveys (SPSs) currently available for state, district, and school consumption and use, given SPSs are increasingly becoming one of the more popular “multiple measures” being used to evaluate teacher qualities. We present descriptive information about each of these SPSs, including information related to cost(s), constructs or domains assessed, number of items, response option types, grade level(s) in which the SPS can be administered, etc. Given this information, we also present implications for practice, as well as calls for future research into each SPS individually and writ large, given SPSs’ increasing popularity post the passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), and also given what consumers might need… Continue Reading

ABSTRACT As states and districts incorporate value-added estimates into multiple-measures systems of teacher evaluation, it has become increasingly important to understand how to model value added when the same student is taught the same subject by multiple teachers. Roster data on teacher–student links that have been checked and confirmed by the teachers themselves show levels of co-teaching far beyond what appear in administrative data. Therefore, to help states and districts overcome a potential limitation in the use of value… Continue Reading

tandfonline.com – How do Test Scores at the Ceiling Affect Value-Added Estimates?

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Some educators are concerned that students with test scores at top of the test score distribution will negatively affect the value-added estimates of teachers of those students. A conventional wisdom has sprung up suggesting that students with very high test scores have “no room to grow,” so value-added estimates for teachers with high-performing students will be depressed even for highly effective teachers. Using empirical data, we show that under normal circumstances, in which few students score at the ceiling, a teacher of high-performing students—even with many students scoring at the ceiling on the pre-test—can have a high value-added estimate. To understand how more extreme ceiling effects can change value-added estimates, we simulate a low ceiling, causing student test… Continue Reading

tandfonline.com – How Does Value Added Compare to Student Growth Percentiles?

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: Abstract Formulae display:?Mathematical formulae have been encoded as MathML and are displayed in this HTML version using MathJax in order to improve their display. Uncheck the box to turn MathJax off. This feature requires Javascript. Click on a formula to zoom. We compare teacher evaluation scores from a typical value-added model to results from the Colorado Growth Model (CGM), which 16 states currently use or plan to use as a component of their teacher performance evaluations. The CGM assigns a growth percentile to each student by comparing each student’s achievement to that of other students with similar past test scores. The median (or average) growth percentile of a teacher’s students provides the measure of teacher effectiveness. The CGM does not… Continue Reading
