EVAAS (Education Value-Added Assessment System)

EVAAS (Education Value-Added Assessment System) is a tool used to measure a teacher's or school's effectiveness based on student progress. It analyzes student test scores over time to determine how much academic growth occurred, accounting for factors like prior performance and demographics. Unlike traditional assessments that focus on achievement levels, EVAAS emphasizes growth—how much students learn each year. This helps educators understand the impact they have on student learning, guiding improvements and accountability. It’s a statistical approach that aims to provide a fair and meaningful measure of teaching effectiveness, focusing on student advancement rather than one-time test results.
