The risk of regular smoking at 1‐ and 2‐year follow‐up was examined in relation to the value‐added score in a cohort of 8352 UK pupils. Random‐effects logistic regression was used to adjust for baseline smoking status and other adolescent smoking risk factors. Setting? A total of 52 ...
As promising as the VSA method is for calculating a valueadded score and allowing results to be comparable across institutions, it has a few potential methodological limitations. This study proposed an alternative way of value-added computation which takes advantage of multilevel models and considers...
Furthermore, the new approach provides school-specific indicators of value-added score precision. Although the reliability of value-added scores is sufficient to inform discussions about improving general education programmes, reliability is currently inadequate for making dependable, high-stakes comparisons ...
Exploring complete school effectiveness via quantile value added In education studies value added is by and large defined in terms of a test score distribution mean. Therefore, all except a particular summary of the test... GL Page,ES Martín,J Orellana,... - 《Journal of the Royal Statistica...
Teacher evaluation systems and student growth measure models continue to be a topic of discussion as local education agencies' accountability measures increase. This quantitative correlational study was an examination of the relationship between teacher evaluation ratings, value-added model reading scores, ...

Via difference-in-differences, we find no evidence of a response to either school or teacher value-added rank, even though school-zone boundary fixed-effects estimates indicate that test score levels are capitalized into home prices. Given ample evidence that this information was new to residents,...
