2018 PREPS VALUE ADDED AWARDS ANNOUNCED
January 29, 2018
The Program of Research and Evaluation for Public Schools (PREPS, Inc.), Mississippi’s only statewide educational consortium, is honored to announce the 2018 Value-Added Award recipients. An awards luncheon and ceremony will be held Monday, February 26 at the Jackson Hilton during the 2018 Mississippi Education Partnership Conference hosted by PREPS and MAPE which celebrates achievements and collaborations in schools.
The PREPS Value Added analysis began in June 1997 and allows for valid comparisons of educational performance on the prior year’s state testing while taking into account the impact of differences in the socioeconomic background of the students considered in the research. The model is used in the PREPS Value Added Awards Program to identify high performing schools among Mississippi public school districts who are members of the PREPS Consortium. Schools which are deemed as adding value are those performing significantly better than other schools with comparable socioeconomic circumstances. PREPS follows the mission of actively providing research and evaluation for public schools.
