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? After an initial decline across nearly all programs, some programs experienced a rebound in enrollment while others did not, potentially impacting program sustainability. → Klostermann 2015

q2 · i? · qualitative · r?
Challenge identified in the I-PREP statewide scan interviews. New admission requirements were often cited as a reason for lower enrollment, and some respondents expressed concern that potential candidates may be confused regarding the time required for internship.
"After an initial decline across nearly all programs, some programs have begun to experience a rebound in their enrollment, while others have not, thus potentially impacting their program sustainability."

Related Claims¶
- Illinois' shift to selective, principal-specific preparation programs caused substantial but anticipated enrollment declines — related
- A widespread concern is that lower enrollment will constrict the principal pipeline and lead to shortages of qualified candidates — related
- Resource limitations from the redesigned policy are felt at the program, district, and principal candidate levels — related
- Recovery from decline was linked to the presence of paradoxical strategies, while linearity was not — related
