Understanding Growth Models and How They Impact Teacher and School Evaluations

States and school districts are incorporating growth models into a range of accountability and evaluation systems at increasing rates. However, there is no single universally accepted growth model. This webinar explores the following key questions:

- What are the characteristics of appropriate assessments to measure student growth?

- What factors are used to measure growth?

- What are the various types of growth models being used in schools?

- What technical criteria should be applied when evaluating a “growth model”?

- This recorded webinar will be of interest to K-12 teachers, school and district leaders, and state departments of education.
