Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

Ethnographic video study (24 hours of video during the unit) of two Grade 4 mathematics classes in a Canadian elementary school.

"I argue that the opportunities to gain agentive locally constructed identities such as “agents of change” are intertwined with a macro-level and meso-level geopolitical matrix of power."
