Subclaims¶

q2 i? Low-performing CSR elementary schools gained about 2 percentage points in mathematics proficiency with a limited research base model and 4 percentage points with a moderate or moderately strong research base model, but math achievement did not improve in non-low-performing CSR elementary schools. → Orland 2010

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Analysis of achievement gains from 2002 to 2005 using CSRQ Center ratings of model research bases. The report finds "Low-performing CSR elementary schools gained about 2 percentage points" in mathematics with a limited research base model and 4 percentage points with a moderate or moderately strong base.

"Low-performing CSR elementary schools gained about 2 percentage points in the percentage of students scoring at the proficient level or higher in mathematics if they adopted a model with a limited scientific research base"
