1. Value-Added Model (VAM). In Florida, value-added models are used to measure the
contribution of a teacher or school to student learning growth. Florida’s value-added
models do this by measuring the difference in each student’s actual performance on
a statewide assessment from that student’s expected performance, which takes into
account specific student and classroom factors that impact the learning process. VAM
scores represent the amount the teacher contributed to student learning growth, on
average, to the students they taught while controlling for factors that impact student
learning growth. (Source: Florida Department of Education website, “Performance Evaluation”)
