HLM analysis of teacher survey measures found the Teacher-Principal Trust slope difference was "only marginally significant," and "All other measures tested (Student-Teacher Trust, Program Coherence, Quality Professional Development, and Teacher-Parent Trust) did not change significantly." No effect sizes are printed.

"As shown in Figure 4, there is an improvement for CoC schools relative to non-CoC schools between 2009 and 2011; however, this difference in slopes is only marginally significant."
