Herman, Joan L.; Heritage, Margaret; Goldschmidt, Pete – Assessment and Accountability Comprehensive Center, 2011
States and districts across the country are grappling with how to incorporate assessments of student learning into their teacher evaluation systems. Sophisticated statistical models have been proposed to estimate the relative value individual teachers add to their students' assessment performance (hence the term teacher "value-added" measures).…

Herman, Joan L.; Yamashiro, Kyo; Lefkowitz, Sloane; Trusela, Lee Ann – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2008
This study examined the relationship between data use and achievement at 13 urban Title I schools. Using multiple methods, including test scores, district surveys, school transformation plans, and four case study site visits, the researchers found wide variation in the use of data to inform instruction and planning. In some cases, schools were …
