The paper raises cautions about the use of value-added models (VAMs) as &#8220;the preferred method&#8221; to estimate the effects of individual teachers on student achievement. Even highly accomplished teachers who embrace accountability, the authors say, &#8220;are skeptical of using VAMs as a central measure of their effectiveness,&#8221; citing the narrowness of what the models measure and reports from researchers of significant and high error rates.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nHowever, the paper supports &#8220;the strategic use of value-added data, with the models&#8217; limitations in mind&#8221; and urges the engagement of expert teachers in efforts &#8220;to sharpen those models and their underlying student assessments to improve accountability systems in ways that support more effective teaching.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The new CTQ brief is one of 13 white papers commissioned by the Advancing Consortium Assessment Reform (ACAR) project of the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation in an effort to &#8220;present information on the latest research and innovation, and provide discrete recommendations on critical assessment issues.&#8221; To read the full report, see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.acarseries.org\/papers\/Barnett_Berry-New_Student_Assessments.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.acarseries.org\/papers\/Barnett_Berry-New_Student_Assessments.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Core Education advocates for the design of evaluation systems that are tools for continuous improvement of educators.
