Description¶

The report structures the information needed to develop a value-added evaluation system into four areas: "typical data elements, important modeling considerations, features specific to teachers or principals, and broad implementation features". This organization is offered as guidance for states or districts building VAM-based evaluation, separating technical modeling decisions from role-specific and system-level implementation choices.

Design Implications¶
