My advice to you is this: RUN!!! It is used here to evaluate you
for tenure...good gains=happy administrators...has little to do
with actual achievement levels. It seems your lowest students
can make the biggest gains, but your best students don't. They
max out on the criterion referenced tests. A student who scores
at the 99 percent level each year cannot gain. Additionally, you
can't show gain in science when you don't study the same
topics...like how can you show gain in Chemistry when you studied
astronomy and life science the prior year? Somehow the TVASS
shows gain or loss even when there is no correlation, and the
gain or loss is accredited to you, the teacher.
