The proposed rule adopts and describes the covariate adjustment value-added model with the statewide, standardized assessments in English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as the statewide, standardized end-of-course assessment in Algebra I. It describes how scores and confidence intervals determine the performance levels of highly effective, effective, needs improvement or developing, and unsatisfactory for the student performance components of annual evaluations based on these models. The rule establishes the procedures for data collection and reporting necessary for the value-added model calculations and the requirements for the Department to report results of the calculations to school districts for use in evaluations of instructional personnel pursuant to s. 1012.34, F.S. The proposed rule incorporates two documents; one describes the courses that are associated with statewide, standardized assessments in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and the statewide, standardized end-of course assessment in Algebra I. The second is a Value-Added Model (“VAM”) Methodology document that describes the data used, the sources of the data, and the statistical model for the value-added formulas.
