7. September 2010 Making a Difference for Student Achievement 7 Limitations of Value-added Models Students are not randomly assigned to teachers.
There is a lack of properly scaled year-to-year tests (i.e., geometry teacher can’t be judged on students’ previous performance in algebra).
Student mobility undermines stability.
Many students are taught the same subject by more than one teacher.
8. September 2010 Making a Difference for Student Achievement 8 Limitations of Value-added Models VAM models are unstable in distinguishing among teachers in the middle ranges of performance.
Depending on the VAM statistical model a researcher uses, the same teacher can be identified as effective or ineffective.
The same teacher’s effectiveness rating changes depending on the school in which he or she teaches.
