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.
q2 i? A one standard deviation fall-to-spring increase in the composite of all nine learning conditions predicts a 19.4 percentile point increase in I am Valued for middle grades students and 20.5 for high school students. → Porter 2025
Evidence¶
Porter 2025¶
Porter, S., Shyjka, A., & Kling, K. (2025). Early insights from the revalidation of the Cultivate Survey: Learning conditions shape students' beliefs about being valued.

q2 · i? · associational · r3
Predictive validity analysis of fall-to-spring Cultivate responses; models controlled for fall learning condition and belief values, student-level covariates (e.g., race/ethnicity, gender, EL status), school-level covariates, and a school random effect, with all results significant at p<.001. Table 2 shows the composite predicts 19.4 (middle grades) and 20.5 (high school) percentile point increases in I am Valued.
"The results in Table 2 show that positive changes in students' experiences of classroom conditions yield large and significant shifts in students' experiences of feeling valued."

- Each individual learning condition predicts I am Valued gains, with Classroom Community the largest (15.0 middle grades, 16.9 high school percentile points) — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
