Wisconsin Statewide Value-Added Project

June 11, 2012

School districts participating in the Wisconsin Statewide Value-Added project receive value-added estimates based on results from the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Exam for their district and their schools compared to the state average. The 43 participating districts share their experiences with rolling out value-added through a Statewide Value-Added Advisory group made up of district leaders, representatives from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and Cooperative Educational Service Agency (CESA) 2. The collaborative uses the Wisconsin Value-Added Online Reporting System to view and compare value-added information specific to their district. VARC staff continue to develop the reporting tool that allows schools to see their value-added data at the grade and school level, over several years, and to compare that with other schools in the district, CESA, or statewide. VARC staff continue to make the data more accessible to districts wanting to do their own analysis or training.
