q2 · i? · associational · r2

Mixed-effects multilevel regression of spring 2022 SCCS secondary student data found cultural connectedness scores significantly higher in emerging and high implementation schools than limited implementation schools, with printed differences of 0.81 and 1.43 points. No standardized effect size is printed.

"Attending a school with emerging implementation was significantly associated with scores on the cultural connectedness scale that were 0.81 point higher than scores at schools with limited implementation. Attending a school with high implementation was significantly associated with scores that were 1.43 points higher than scores at schools with limited implementation."
