Pennsylvania Value-Added Assessment System WHAT IS PVAAS? PDE > K-12 > Assessment and Accountability > PVAAS Pennsylvania Value-Added Assessment System WHAT IS PVAAS? A statistical analysis of PSSA assessment data Provides districts with progress data Provides educators information to ensure the academic needs of groups of students AND individual students are met To help understand PVAAS analysis, think of academic growth in terms of a child’s physical growth, and the growth charts utilized by a child’s physician.  Growth charts are an important tool for monitoring a child’s development, but they are just one of the indicators used by the physician to ensure a child is growing at the minimum expected level and on the trajectory to grow as expected.  A physician would not use a growth chart in isolation to diagnose a child; however, the growth chart would provide valuable information that may warrant further exploration. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACHIEVEMENT AND GROWTH DATA? Achievement Measures a student’s performance at one single point in time Highly correlated with a student’s demographics Compares student performance to a standard Critical to a student’s post-secondary opportunities Growth Measures a student’s growth across time; i.e., across years Not related to a student’s demographics Compares student performance to his/her own prior performance Critical to ensuring a student’s future academic success By measuring students’ academic achievement AND growth, schools and districts have a more comprehensive picture of their own effectiveness in raising student achievement Assessment information gathered and compiled by Kimberly Hamilton
