<\/em>No measure is perfect, but the estimates of value-added and other \u201cgrowth models,\u201d which attempt to isolate the \u201ctrue effect\u201d of an individual teacher through his or her students\u2019 test scores, are alarmingly error-prone in any given year.<\/p>\n

There won’t always be stability in these rankings, but some of these will reflect changes in real performance.<\/p>\n

Example 3: Plagiarize the original text by paraphrasing its structure too closely, and include a citation. Even though you cited it, paraphrasing too closely is still plagiarism.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s difficult to have faith in performance evaluations if the chance of getting the same rating the next year is about as good as the odds when you flip a coin (Ravitch 271).<\/p>\n
