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? Under the new evaluation system, 8 percent of teachers in the pilot sample received at least one unsatisfactory rating, compared with only 0.3 percent of CPS teachers rated unsatisfactory under the previous checklist system. → Lauren Sartain 2010
