Business Benefits
Provides teachers with insight into the needs and anticipated performance of each student Identifies students that require additional instruction and study time for certain subjects Identifies students who are likely to drop out so teachers can intervene Provides a way to measure and reward -teachers who exceed predicted student performance levels

Motivating teachers to excel

Predicting student performance for proactive intervention is not the only way the Department is using its models to create data-driven change in its districts. Administrators are also using eighth grade test history to predict students scores on high school exams and motivate teachers. For each student that exceeds his or her predicted score, the teacher receives a pay incentive in US. This approach has helped the districts raise student test scores as well as compete more effectively with the private sector for prospective teachers skilled in hard-to-staff areas like math and science.
