SDP Human Capital Diagnostic for Albuquerque Public Schools

Report Date:

Abstract:

The Human Capital Diagnostic is the result of a partnership between SDP and APS designed to bring data to bear on policy and management decisions to improve student outcomes. Researchers connected student demographics and test scores to teacher human resource data and calculated objective measures of teacher effectiveness that are linked to teacher characteristics. The diagnostic analyses leverage these measures of effectiveness to explore their relationship with characteristics of teachers, schools, and students. They are not intended to draw conclusions about the contribution made by any individual teacher but rather to understand overall district trends.
