Which brings up questions like: do student performance measurements accurately represent a teacher’s contribution to student learning? Is the teacher’s value-added score consistent across various student performance measurements and over time? Beyond concerns regarding the statistical accuracy of VAM, critics contend that Value-Added dehumanizes the evaluation process and relies too heavily on accountability. Sure enough, VAM has been used for performance-based pay and as a basis for hiring and firing. Because of this, we see a lot of negative teacher perceptions of VAM in current research. We hear and understand these concerns, However we also argue that VAM, despite its limitations, is a necessary tool and deserves a seat at the table in the teacher evaluation process.
