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.
q3 i? Correlations between FFL scores and principals' contributions to math achievement are higher than correlations with contributions to achievement in other subjects. → Moira McCullough 2016

q3 · i? · associational · r?
Subject-specific concurrent validity analysis comparing FFL correlations with math versus other-subject value-added; the paper reports "contributions to math achievement were more highly correlated than contributions to achievement in other subjects." No coefficients are printed.
"Contributions to math achievement were more highly correlated than contributions to achievement in other subjects."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Principals with higher FFL scores make larger estimated contributions to student achievement growth (concurrent validity) — related
- The strongest FFL validity relationships are in the systems leadership and professional and community leadership domains — related
- Higher FFL scores associate with larger value-added for middle school principals but not for elementary or high school principals — related
- FFL scores were not associated with school leaders' estimated contributions to student achievement growth — related
- There is little prior evidence on the validity of principal evaluation measures, and this is the first study linking practice ratings to credible value-added measures — related
- Students in New Leaders-led Oakland schools show greater math achievement growth than other OUSD students (effect size 0.16) — related
- Teachers with higher Framework for Teaching scores tended to make larger contributions to student achievement (value added) — related
