Growth Model

• How do Value-Added models work?
• They measure growth by predicting how well a
  student will perform on an assessment.
• How do they predict how well the student will
  do?
• They look at previous test scores and estimate
  how well the student should perform at the end of
  the year. Every student must grow based on
  where they start.
