Why should you care about your EVAAS
Teacher Value Added Report?
 Beginning with your 2013 report, it becomes part of
your evaluation.
 Standard 6 – Teachers contribute to the academic success of
their students. (Measurable Progress)
 Standard 4 – Teachers facilitate learning for their students
» Teachers plan instruction appropriate for their students
» Use data for short and long range planning
 Standard 5 – Teachers reflect on their practice.
» Teacher analyze student learning.
But your report is not just an evaluation component. It is
also a powerful tool for improving your effectiveness as a
teacher. So why else should you care?

Achievement vs. Progress
Student Progress – How far have I come?
 Highly dependent on what happens as a result of
schooling rather than on demographic factors.

Achievement vs. Progress
By concentrating on the progress students make, EVAAS
puts the emphasis on something educators are responsible
for and can do something about. Average progress (one
year of academic gain) is the minimum expectation. In
other words, it is expected that students will not lose
ground, relative to their peers, in the course of the year.

Underlying Philosophy
 All students deserve opportunities to make appropriate
academic progress every year.
 There is no “one size fits all” way of educating students
who enter a class at different levels of academic
achievement.
 Adjustments to instruction should be based on the
academic attainment of students, not on socio-economic
factors.
 Given reliable information on past effectiveness, educators
can make appropriate adjustments to improve student
opportunities.
 "What teachers know and can do is the most important
influence on what students learn." (National Commission
on Teaching and America's Future, 1996)
 One of the most important things educators can know is
who they are effective with and who they are not.
