ICPSR ispleased to announce a webinar introducing new data from the Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) Project. The MET Project was launched in 2009 to investigate how teacher evaluation methods can best be used to inform teachers about the skills that make them most effective, and to help districts identify great teaching. This project brought together 3,000 teacher volunteers in six different school districts with dozens of university and education organization experts and researchers.
<br>
<br>What’s new?
<br>• Test scores have been added for all students in grades 4 to 8 in academic years 2011-12, 2012-13, and 2013-14 in the six MET school districts.
<br>• All test scores are linked across years by consistent student and teacher IDs. These data can be used to study the persistence of a teacher’s impact on student performance up to four years later.
<br>• New data on more than 2.4 million scores applied to MET videos are available for research on psychometric properties of items in five observation instruments.
<br>
<br>The webinar will describe the new data and answer questions about gaining access to the MET LDB. Researchers at RAND who participated in the MET Project will also be available to discuss the computation of teacher value added measures and other issues related to the data.
