EA Response to ASA Statement
On April 8, 2014, the American Statistical Association released the “ASA Statement on Using Value-Added Models for Educational Assessment.” In the PDF attachment below, we provide comments on the ASA statement and provide examples from our work at the Value-Added Research Center and Educational Analytics Inc. with districts and their stakeholders on the development and implementation of value-added models. We also provide a list of resources that provide additional information on these issues.
