The Educator’s Professional Inventory

Harnessing the Power of Research to Inform Data-Driven Hiring and Increase

Student Achievement

A (R)evolution Created to Transform the Way You Hire

Recent research has made it possible to create a tool that predicts the impact that a teacher candidate will have on student achievement.

Teachers Are the Most Important Factor

• Yet very little effort has been placed into making sure they are hired with scientific precision.

• Can you predict teacher candidate performance? Yes!

• EPI is the first and only comprehensive tool that predicts the impact that teachers will have on student achievement. And, because of advanced machine learning capabilities, it gets better and better the longer it is in use.

TeacherMatch Nationwide Research Sample deliberately varied by location, school type, size, and demographics.

Automating Sophisticated Analytics

Hierarchical Linear Modeling: Indicates which items on the EPI are most predictive of student growth.

Technology Platform: Uses HLM and VAM results to deliver the EPI to assess candidates and report on their results.

Value-Add Modeling: Used as a Dependent Variable in our HLM model; our operational definition of “teacher effectiveness.”

EPI is truly an inter-disciplinary undertaking. We bring together specialists from multiple fields who normally do not dialogue.

The System Learns Over Time

The addition of SEM along with R on the technology side will enable a Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) that will allow for a real-time EPI that is context specific right down to the school and classroom level.

EPI Is Artificially Intelligent Research in Action

Candidate Grid = Actionable & Fast Now you can interview only the candidates most likely to be an effective teacher.

Translating Score to Likelihood of Student Growth Value-Add Modeling (VAM) removes factors that are not under the teacher’s control.

VAM Distribution Think of this as a distribution of teachers’ ability to deliver student growth.

Professional Development Profile (PDP) Uses evidence-based EPI results to customize a PD report.
