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? Mobility behavior varies across the teacher performance distribution rather than being uniform. → Dan Goldhaber 2011

The abstract of this value-added study of early-career teacher mobility states "there appears to be heterogeneity in mobility behavior across the performance distribution," hedged with "appears." No effect size is printed.
"But there appears to be heterogeneity in mobility behavior across the performance distribution"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The distribution of highest-performing teachers across schools is statistically unlikely to be random, with significance for middle school teachers on both poverty and achievement groupings but for elementary teachers only on achievement groupings — related
- Student demographics and achievement levels affect early-career teacher mobility — related
