Value-Added Academy

Battelle for Kids is recognized nationally as a leader in empowering educators to understand and use value-added information, along with other data sources, to improve teaching and learning.


Through our Value-Added Academy, we provide consulting, professional development, tools and resources to help school districts and state departments of education integrate use of value-added analysis to inform their school-improvement efforts. We strategize with our clients to identify the rollout approach that will generate optimum understanding, implementation and buy-in.


SOAR, Battelle for Kids' school improvement collaborative, is one of the largest value-added initiatives in the country.
