The What, Why and How of PVAAS Data

In this presentation, we'll take a quick look at PVAAS and it's purpose, identify the data sources used to determine PVAAS scores and determine where this data is gathered. We'll spend a bit of time exploring how PVAAS is used at the building, district and state levels. Finally, we'll review the data verification process and discuss the handling of duplicate students across multiple LEAs.
