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.
q2 i? Magnolia's subgroup achievement data revealed a persistent gap for students classified as English Language Learners, with language supports in math relying on what individual teachers improvise. → Hannan 2026

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Spotlight interview with a Magnolia district leader describing what the report names a structural access gap: robust language development supports existed but were not systematically applied across mathematics classes.
"“We are putting kids into a class when they don’t have the background knowledge to be successful, yet we don’t have a structure for helping them gain that background knowledge while still exposing them to grade-level content.”"
