Subclaims¶
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.
q3 i1 Children with disabilities in Tier 5 programs were projected to show 2.9–3.2 more months of learning and development than their peers in Tier 3 programs, and benefited more than children without disabilities in each area of development. → Sussman 2022
Evidence¶
Sussman 2022¶
Sussman, J., Melnick, H., Newton, E., Kriener-Althen, K., Draney, K., Mangione, P., & Gochyyev, P. (2022). Preschool quality and child development: How are learning gains related to program ratings?

q3 · i1 · associational · r3
Regression analysis by IEP status; Table 3 reports effect sizes up to 0.23 SD for children with disabilities in Tier 5 mathematics. The article suggests attending a higher-tier program was associated with shrinking gaps for children with disabilities.
"the effects associated with Tier 5 ranged between 2.9 and 3.2 months of additional learning and development for children with disabilities and 2.2 and 2.4 months for children without identified disabilities"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Learning Disabilities and Developmental Differences — moderator: an instructional effect differs with it
Related Claims¶
- Multilingual learners gained more in higher-tier programs than non-multilingual learners, with Tier 5 gains of 2.6–2.8 additional months — related
- Children from all racial/ethnic groups were projected to gain more in higher-tier programs, but most racial/ethnic differences were not statistically significant — related
- Children in Tier 4 and Tier 5 preschool programs gained more learning and development from fall to spring than children in Tier 3 programs — a broader claim this one bears on
