A key component of the ASPIRE
model is using high-quality data sources, particularly value-added
analysis, to guide instructional decision-making. Value-added
analysis is a statistical method used to measure teachers’ and
schools’ impact on students’
academic progress rates from year to year.
Beginning this
year, HISD will use value-added analysis calculated via Dr. William
Sanders’ EVAAS® model to measure student progress at the school,
grade, teacher, and student levels. EVAAS® is recognized as the most
statistically rigorous model for calculating value-added analysis
nationwide. |
