Резюме	Value-added teacher evaluation uses longitudinal student test scores to estimate how much individual teachers contribute to their students' achievement growth, net of what students brought into the classroom. Statistically it applies value-added and mixed-model machinery — controlling for prior achievement and student characteristics, then treating each teacher's residual contribution as an effect to be estimated. Pioneered in Tennessee's TVAAS and scrutinized in a large methodological and policy literature, it became central, and controversial, in teacher accountability.	The educational production function is the economist's framework for relating the inputs of schooling — class size, teacher quality, expenditure, family background — to an output, usually measured achievement. Borrowing the production-function metaphor from the economics of the firm, it estimates by how much achievement changes when an input changes. It is the analytic backbone of decades of debate over what resources matter for learning, and the methodological challenges of estimating it honestly — endogeneity, omitted variables, and the cumulative history of inputs — define much of the field.
