Content | Value-Added Assessment is a new method of teaching that I would like to see in Oklahoma's public schools. Its philosophy is that schools can and should add value for each student and that students are entitled to improve at least at a pace they have demonstrated in their prior academic history. This assessment isn't a test. It will help us determine whether students, a school, or a district are making enough academic growth each year. It calculates a projected test score for a student in a given grade and subject. The projected score is based entirely on the student's prior academic achievement. At the end of the year, the projected score is compared to the actual score. I think this idea is the best possible road for Oklahoma's public schools to travel down. Let's see what it can do! |
