Using Value-Added Measures of Teacher Quality

Author(s):
Eric Hanushek, Steven Rivkin

CALDER researchers tackle this important and timely question by describing the analytic framework of value-added measures, by identifying methodological concerns about value-added estimation and ways to mitigate them, and by discussing the policy uses of value-added estimates of teacher effectiveness.
