This high-impact professional learning session is designed to help Tennessee school leaders effectively understand, interpret, and apply TVAAS (Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System) data to support academic growth and instructional decision-making across their schools. Participants will explore how TVAAS provides a clear picture of student growth over time—beyond proficiency—and how this data can be used to shape school improvement plans, support teacher development, and ensure equitable learning opportunities for all students.

Through guided analysis, real-school case studies, and interactive sessions with data specialists, leaders will gain confidence in using TVAAS as a tool for collaborative leadership and strategic action. Key Learning Outcomes: Understand the core principles of TVAAS, including growth vs. achievement, and its alignment with Tennessee’s accountability framework. Analyze school-level and teacher-level TVAAS reports to identify trends, gaps, and instructional strengths. Use TVAAS data to inform PLC conversations, target intervention supports and refine curriculum pacing.

Leverage value-added insights to support educator evaluations, differentiated PD, and equity-focused leadership; and integrate TVAAS with other data sources (e.g., benchmark assessments, RTI², and state assessments) for comprehensive decision-making. These things will all be presented to you by your peers currently doing this work.
