We examined the influence of PACT scores on student
achievement in elementary and middle school by conducting separate ordinary least
squares regression analyses of students’ ELA and math scores, controlling for
students’ prior year scores in that subject area, their demographic information, and
grade level of the test. Teachers’ PACT scores were included as a predictor in these
value-added models. Models were developed to include the total score and each of
the PACT subscores: planning, instruction, assessment, reflection, and academic
language. Models were run for grades 3 to 8 in ELA and 3 to 7 in math using data
for 2005–2006 to 2009–2010. Because CSTs are not vertically equated, and thus no
scaled scores are available that have consistent meaning across tests, we standardized
scores by test, subject, and grade level (e.g., grade 4 math). We controlled for prior
year scores and student demographics, including English learner status, sex,
race/ethnicity, grade retention, and parent education.
