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? Two thirds (66%) of LEAs used LEA-based grade-level benchmarks and report cards for TK, while 20% used the Desired Results Developmental Profile, 13% the Work Sampling System, and 8% used no common TK assessment. → Wang 2024

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Descriptive survey results on TK assessments (Table 3). Other common tools were the Desired Results Developmental Profile (20%) and Work Sampling System (13%), described as observational assessments specifically designed for early learners; 8% of LEAs used no common TK assessment, and LEAs wrote in tools including ESGI, DIBELS, NWEA MAP, STAR, iReady, and Core Growth.
"Two thirds (66%) of LEAs used LEA-based grade-level benchmarks and report cards for Tk (see Table 3)."

- Use of the DRDP assessment in TK increased notably to 34% of LEAs while LEA-developed assessment use fell from 66% to 44% — reports the opposite
