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? Across the districts, evaluation systems that include alternative student growth measures showed a wider range of teacher performance than previous evaluation systems that lack measures of student growth. → Moira McCullough 2015
