Already kind of do this with the standardized tests. Not at the next level, but at the next grade or testing age. For example the kids test scores for 8th grade math are compared to their test scores for 7th grade math. The 8th grade teats are supposed to show growth/improvement from their 7th grade scores. They are proposing that 50% of teacher evaluation scores are composed of this growth index, with the other 50% consisting of administrative performance evaluation of teaching. They are also proposing that teacher pay be tied to these growth scores. Mind you, I am only speaking for Ohio methods, not US methods.
