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? Each of the nine Cultivate learning condition measures has a Rasch person reliability index of 0.82 or higher, exceeding the 0.80 strong-reliability threshold. → Porter 2025

q2 · i? · associational · r3
Revalidation psychometric analysis of Cultivate survey responses from 504 schools in 2022-23 and 587 schools in 2023-24 (grades 5-12). Table 1 reports Rasch person reliability indices from 0.82 (Well-Organized Classroom, Affirming Identities) to 0.87 (Feedback for Growth); the article states "reliabilities over 0.70 are evidence that a measure consistently captures the intended dimension."
"Cultivate learning condition measures demonstrate exceptional measures properties—reliabilities over 0.70 are evidence that a measure consistently captures the intended dimension of classroom conditions."
