Measurement and Fairness (2019, methodology): “r teaching history and status in the community. If these attributes are relevant to our understanding of teacher quality, then this model lacks content validity as well. Furthermore, Amrein-Beardsley [3] demonstrates the score’s lack of construct validity|particularly the lack of convergent validity”
Serious doubts about school effectiveness (2010, background): “There is plenty of evidence of differences between pupils with complete and incomplete values in such datasets (Amrein-Beardsley, 2008).”
Assessing Rothstein's critique of teacher value‐added models (2012, background): “3See, for example, Kane and Staiger (2002), Amrein-Beardsley (2008), Harris and Sass (2011), Martineau (2006), Koedel and Betts (2010b), and Koretz (2002).”
What Makes Great Teaching? Review of the Underpinning Research. (2014, background): “A range of evidence suggests that VAMs can be affected by the effects of prior teachers, measurement error, and the distribution of students into classrooms and teachers into schools (Hill et al, 2011; Amrein-Beardsley, 2008; Kupermintz, 2003; McCaffrey et al., 2003).”
The Impact of Professional Development and Coaching on Early Language and Literacy Instructional Practices (2009, background): “Students of National Board–certified teachers, for example, make about 1 month’s greater growth than students of regularly certified teachers (Amrein-Beardsley, 2008).”
Value-Added Modeling of Teacher Effectiveness: An Exploration of Stability across Models and Contexts (2010, background): “This argument has raised concerns among educational scholars (Amrein-Beardsley, 2008; Kupermintz, 2003), who question why the effects of important student characteristics variables should have vanished in the TVAAS model.”
Developing and assessing beginning teacher effectiveness: the potential of performance assessments (2013, background): “Significant positive influences of NBC teachers on achievement were also found in much smaller studies by Vandevoort, Amrein-Beardsley, and Berliner (2004) and Smith, Gordon, Colby, and Wang (2005).”
