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? School leaders' FFL scores in one year were moderately consistent with their scores the next year, with a correlation coefficient of .54. → McCullough 2016

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Analyses of score stability used FFL scores across two school years to calculate Pearson's correlation coefficient, finding scores "moderately consistent (correlation coefficient of .54)" across years.
"School leaders’ scores in one year were moderately consistent (correlation coefficient of .54) with their scores in the next year."
