 GSGM Technical Evaluation


The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) conducted an extensive process, working with multiple educator advisory groups and technical advisors, to select and implement its student growth model. As part of this process, GaDOE contracted with three leading, external researchers to begin the process of validating the model and its use in the state’s educator effectiveness system. We are pleased to release this set of five studies and overview that contribute to a technical evaluation of the Georgia Student Growth Model.
