Sohlberg has contributed to the development of numerous teacher and school value-added models, including models for the Pittsburgh Public Schools, the state of Oklahoma, and the District of Columbia. He also is formulating standardized student-level data sets at the school-district level for Mathematica’s large-scale evaluation of the Teacher Incentive Fund evaluation and provided quality assurance and code review for a multi-year evaluation of KIPP schools.
