Underlying Philosophy






All students deserve to make appropriate academic progress every year
No “one size fits all” way to educate different levels of academic
achievement
Instructional adjustments should be based on academic attainment, not on
socioeconomic factors.
Reliability of past effectiveness information offers opportunities to make
appropriate adjustments to improve student opportunities
What teachers know and can do is the most important influence on what
students learn
One of the most important things educators can know is who they are
effective with and who they are not
Why else should you care about the
EVAAS Report?

Information about Teacher Reports

State Growth Standard/State Average = 0.0

Standard Error = a measure of uncertainty
 Usually,
the more data you have, the smaller the
standard error.

Index = Teacher Estimate divided by Standard Error
Effectiveness Categories
Teacher Evaluation Composite
Index: Teacher Estimate
Divided by Standard Error
Courses included in
calculation
Statewide distribution of
teacher status.
Understanding
Teacher Value-Added Reports

Teacher Estimate: How much progress did this
teacher’s students make compared to other students
across the state?
 Index: Teacher estimate divided by the standard
error. Index is the basis by which teachers are
assigned to effectiveness levels.
