12. PVAAS Teacher Specific Reporting SY13-14 Release in Fall 2014

13. The Importance of PVAAS Teacher Specific Reporting “A student assigned to a very good teacher for a single school year may gain up to a full year’s worth of additional academic growth compared to a student assigned to a very poor teacher. Having a series of strong or weak teachers in consecutive years compounds the impact. Give high-need students three highly effective teachers in a row and they may outperform students taught by three ineffective teachers in a row by as much as 50 percentile points.” 3 3 For information about the impact of teacher effectiveness on student outcomes, see Rivkin, S., E. Hanushek, and J. Kain (2005). “Teachers, Schools, and Academic Achievement,” Econometrica, 73(2), 417-458. Also see Sanders, W.L. and Rivers, J.C. (1996). “Research Project Report: Cumulative and Residual Effects of Teachers on Future Student Academic Achievement,” University of Tennessee Value-Added Research and Assessment Center; and Rockoff, J.
