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? In a 1st-grade math lesson, only 3 of 9 girls (33%) present participated compared to 5 of 12 boys (42%), and the teacher had been calling on fewer than half of her students, a pattern she discovered only through the EQUIP data report. → Cunningham 2024
q2 i? A researcher reported that EQUIP data illuminated patterns teachers were unaware of and changed who they called on. → Cunningham 2024 (2)

Case report of a 1st-grade teacher in the ARISE partnership during the 2021/22 school year whose video-recorded math lesson was coded with EQUIP. The data report showed "only 3 of the 9 girls (33%)" participated versus 5 of 12 boys (42%), and she had called on fewer than half of her students.
"Sophia was particularly interested in increasing participation for girls because only 3 of the 9 girls (33%) present that day participated, compared to 5 of the 12 boys (42%)"
