Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System

The Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System (TVAAS) is a method used to measure student academic growth in Tennessee schools. It evaluates how much progress students make over time, taking into account their previous performance. By comparing the test scores of students year over year, TVAAS helps identify effective teaching practices and areas for improvement. This data-driven approach allows educators and policymakers to better understand the impact of teaching on student learning, ultimately aiming to enhance educational outcomes and support student success throughout the state.
