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? During kindergarten-to-4th-grade academic years, ELs gained more math than never-ELs, but they lost more during summers. → Johnson 2022
