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 i2 CSRP significantly improved executive function, reduced behavior problems, and improved vocabulary, letter-naming, and math skills, with effect sizes ranging from 0.34 to 0.63. → Blair 2015

q3 · i2 · review · r3
Randomized controlled trial of a classroom-based intervention including 30 hours of teacher training in classroom management strategies and one-on-one consultant work with children showing challenging behavior. The article reports "significant benefits of CSRP for children's academic skills" with printed effect sizes "ranging from 0.34 to 0.63" (ES = 0.34–0.63).
"Analyses also suggested significant benefits of CSRP for children's academic skills as measured by direct assessments of children's vocabulary, letter-naming, and math skills (Raver et al. 2011). Effect sizes (ESs) of this intervention were substantial, ranging from 0.34 to 0.63."
