Teachers need data and information to guide and improve their instruction. Value-added analysis, when combined with multiple measures, provides the greatest insight into the impact schools and teachers have on student performance.
For nearly a decade, Battelle for Kids has helped educators use value-added analysis, formative instructional practices, and other data sources to empower their decision-making.
