Initial estimates of teacher value‐added in English primary schools
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract A sizeable literature investigating teacher test score value‐added—the extent to which pupils make different rates of progress under different teachers—has emerged in the United States. While there is much interest in estimating teacher value‐added in other countries such as England, progress has been limited by the lack of datasets linking ...
