Review of Rethinking value-added models in education: Critical perspectives on tests and assessment-based accountability	2016	5	.pdf	application/pdf	2170	112	43	The main themes that organize the content of book involve the development, implementation, consequences, and future of valued-added methods for teacher accountability: 1) the use of social engineering in American educational policy; 2) the negative impact on the human factor in schools; 3) the acceptance of unquestioned theoretical and methodological assumptions in VAMs; and 4) the availability of conventional alternatives and solutions to a newly created problem. The author contextualizes her critique to added-value methods in education within a larger socio-political discussion that revisits the history and evolution of teacher accountability in the US.	cache/educationr-1940.pdf	txt/educationr-1940.txt
