Mixed-effects location scale models for joint modelling school value-added effects on the mean and variance of student achievement
George Leckie, Richard Parker, Harvey Goldstein +1
School value-added models are widely applied to study, monitor, and hold schools to account for school differences in student learning. The traditional model is a mixed-effects lin…
Providing educational accountability for Local Authorities based upon sampling pupils within schools: moving away from simplistic school league tables
Harvey Goldstein, George Leckie, Lucy Prior
This paper proposes an alternative educational accountability system for England that moves away from simplistic comparisons, or league tables, among schools towards a more nuanced…
School value-added models for multivariate academic and non-academic outcomes: A more rounded approach to using student data to inform school accountability
Lucy Prior, Harvey Goldstein, George Leckie
Education systems around the world increasingly rely on school value-added models to hold schools to account. These models typically focus on a limited number of academic outcomes,…
The implications of Labour's plan to scrap Key Stage 2 tests for Progress 8 and secondary school accountability in England
George Leckie, Lucy Prior, Harvey Goldstein
In England, Progress 8 is the Conservative government's headline secondary school performance and accountability measure. Progress 8 attempts to measure the average academic progre…
Variance partitioning in multilevel models for count data
George Leckie, William Browne, Harvey Goldstein +2
A first step when fitting multilevel models to continuous responses is to explore the degree of clustering in the data. Researchers fit variance-component models and then report th…
Should we adjust for pupil background in school value-added models? A study of Progress 8 and school accountability in England
George Leckie, Harvey Goldstein
In the UK, US and elsewhere, school accountability systems increasingly compare schools using value-added measures of school performance derived from pupil scores in high-stakes st…
