models take various specific forms, they all aremotivated by the philosophy that schools should be judged by the value they add rather than theresources used or the quality of the incoming students. This paper applies a value-added perspective to the college ratings, including the ratingsof engineering programs and schools.A Brief Introduction to Value Added Models Figure 1 shows a conceptual view of the value-added model.

The ‘reflective practitioner’ is one who thinks abouthow they teach and continually researches their own practice, it does not usually refer to areflection in the subject matter itself. That is left to the ‘research’, even when it is the sameperson doing both activities.
