Value-Added Assessment Services

Operation Public Education (OPE can support districts in Pennsylvania as they implement value-added assessment and learn how to use it to improve their instructional programs. OPE has expanded its staff, and through its collaboration with EVAAS, the state's value-added assessment provider, has the expertise to provide professional development and organizational support for teachers, schools, districts and communities by providing customized training modules to address their needs. These modules can be used as part of in-service days, retreats, school board or PTA meetings. See below for a copy of OPE's Value-Added Services Brochure or contact:

Value-Added Services Brochure

Introduction
The value-added assessment system described here was developed by statistician Dr. William Sanders and is transforming education by providing a new lens to examine student achievement. In 1992, Tennessee adopted it as a diagnostic tool for all its classrooms. Since that time, it has been mandated for use by all school districts in Pennsylvania and Ohio as well as in over 300 other school districts or consortia nationwide. Dr. Sanders' program, called Educational Value-Added Assessment System or EVAAS, is now a part of the SAS Institute in Cary, North Carolina.
