Value-added Assessment

Value-added assessment is a method used to measure the effectiveness of education by focusing on the progress students make over time. Instead of just looking at test scores, it considers how much improvement individual students achieve, taking into account their starting points. This approach helps educators identify successful teaching strategies and areas needing support, ensuring that the impact of instruction is evaluated based on growth rather than static achievement. Essentially, it aims to provide a clearer picture of how well schools are contributing to student learning and development.
