The Official Ohio Department of Education Value-Added Guide
“Value-Added” is an initiative driven by recent changes in Federal No Child Left Behind legislation and recent State of Ohio legislation that is affecting Ohio schools. The Ohio Department of Education is gearing up for a push in this area. What “Value-Added” means is that instead of using the changes in classes of students on performance tests, the unit of analysis will become the student. Individual student academic performance will be tracked across years. Value-Added is the fourth component of Ohio’s accountability system that measures growth or improvement over a period of time to determine the "value" gained by a student during that time period
