Making Better Teachers: the Fight Over "Value-Added" Evaluation
Recent articles in the Los Angeles Times regarding "value-added" teacher assessments have generated a nationwide debate on how best to evaluate teachers. That debate has pitted President Obama's Secretary of Education against teacher union leaders and many academics. AirTalk host Larry Mantle and guest experts debate the "value-added" teacher method of evaluating teachers. If not "value-added" then what is the best way to evaluate teachers and ultimately benefit the kids in the classroom? And what role should student performance play in assessing teacher performance?
Guests include Eric Hanushek, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University. His pioneering analysis measuring teacher quality through student achievement forms the basis of the "value-added" method of evaluating teachers and schools.
