Greg McVerry@DataDiva @AssessWell Not in CT. You couldn't look at student growth year to year. Best you could do is use previous year as covariate

Greg McVerry@AssessWell @DataDiva Reliability yes, but there are many more degrees of freedom and methods for determining validity.

Greg McVerry@AssessWell @DataDiva @NA_Dellsey Been proven time and again that they also correlate well with HST. DDM much cheaper to implement.

Greg McVerry@NA_Dellsey @DataDiva @AssessWell Not me, we do need policy data, yes just residual of learning, just need to recognize purpose.

Greg McVerry@DataDiva @NA_Dellsey @AssessWell But standard practice is to assume threshold of reliability is not met and provide data to prove.
