Sentences with phrase «sgp model estimates»

Not exact matches

Given these USDOE restrictions, one might think that the only option is for states and districts to choose a sparse growth model, such as median student growth percentiles (SGPs), that only controls for past student exam scores in estimating student growth.

Both studies find what might be seen as surprisingly high correlations (around 0.9) between estimates from value - added and SGP models.

Wright [22] compares SGP estimates to estimates produced by the SAS EVAAS approach, while Goldhaber and colleagues [23] compare SGP estimates to estimates from the full range of value - added models discussed above.

By design, SGP models do not purport to provide causal estimates of teacher effectiveness (though this does not necessarily imply that they are less accurate measures); they are intended as a descriptive measure of what is — of test score gains relative to other students who scored similarly in the past.»
