When Growth Isn’t Really Growth

When Growth Isn’t Really Growth | Rethinking Public Education | Scoop.it
A simple illustration shows that the manner in which we usually measure school growth doesn't really measure growth at all.
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:

"There’s something to be said for measuring performance over time and incentivizing improvement using available data, and changes in cross-sectional rates/scores are, for the moment, all that is available in many places (though that is changing). Nevertheless, we should always bear in mind that these changes are not “growth” or “gains,” and they often cannot identify the schools generating the most significant progress among their students (or lack thereof)"
