Kate Value-Added Model slide

This is where the Value-Added Model comes in. The Value-Added Model offers an objective, quantitative, and data-based analysis of teacher performance. As instructional leaders, we seek to provide constructive feedback to teachers that will foster their professional growth. Evaluation tools such as observations, rubrics, and pre/post-conference meetings, give supervisors information to have productive conversations with educators about their practice in the classroom and ideas for how to strengthen it. Value-Added data is helpful, because educators can assess whether those practices lead to student learning and increases in student achievement, the central outputs of the teaching profession.
