Enhanced Value-Added Models for Estimating Teacher Effects

NCER
Program: Statistical and Research Methodology in Education
Program topic(s): Core
Award amount: $500,000
Principal investigator: J. R. Lockwood
Awardee:
RAND Corporation
Year: 2004
Award period: 3 years (10/02/2004 - 09/30/2007)
Project type:
Methodological Innovation
Award number: R305U040005

Purpose

This research examined the performance of a class of value-added models for longitudinal student achievement data where we introduce and use latent student parameters to enrich other features of the model.

Project Activities

The two primary model enrichments (1) allowed teacher effects to depend on the latent student parameters, and (2) allowed the probability of students missing testing to depend on the latent student parameters.
