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 i? Students in City Connects schools were predicted to have significantly higher grade 5 math, reading, writing, and effort scores, with standardized differences of 0.01 to 0.04 SD per year of exposure. → O'Dwyer 2016

Model 1 multilevel regressions predicting grade 5 mediators from school treatment status and student dosage. The article reports "standardized differences ranged from 0.01 to 0.04 standard deviations" per year of City Connects enrollment.

"After controlling for student covariates, standardized differences ranged from 0.01 to 0.04 standard deviations for each year the student was in a City Connects school."
