Abstract
Developing appropriate measures of teaching effectiveness and teaching quality are imperative for future research to be able to validate (or refute) findings and theories pertaining to excellence in teaching secondary mathematics. One aim of our research project was to examine the appropriateness of using value added estimates of student achievement gains as a measure of teacher effectiveness in Year 8 mathematics classes. The findings revealed important issues for consideration by anyone involved in, or influenced by, the measurement of effectiveness.
