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.
q1 i? The report measures changes in effectiveness for novice teachers as they gain experience, relative to changes for veteran teachers, noting that novices are typically less effective than veterans. → Elias Walsh 2014

q1 · i? · associational · r?
The report's third research question frames an analysis of novice-teacher effectiveness growth under IMPACT, benchmarked against veteran teachers' growth, because the success of IMPACT "may depend in part on whether and how much novice teachers improve over time". No findings are printed on this page.
"We measure changes in effectiveness for novice teachers as they become more experienced relative to the change in effectiveness for veteran teachers. Teachers typically become more effective as they gain experience, which is why novice teachers are usually less effective than veteran teachers."
