Luis Sandoval's Response:
Your could get better picture of a teacher's ability to look at test scores and modify their teaching accordingly to improve test scores if you would show a year by year value added score, including the 2008-2009 academic year.
The Times gave LAUSD elementary school teachers rated in this database the opportunity to preview their value-added evaluations and publicly respond. Some issues raised by teachers may be addressed in the FAQ. Teachers who have not commented may do so by contacting The Times.
