q2 · i? · design · r2

Evaluation-team survey data reported in the Early Implementers' Reaction subsection on phenomena: the share of surveyed teachers using phenomena "at least weekly" rose from 17 percent to 36 percent, and infrequent use fell from 36 percent to 17 percent. No effect size is printed.

"While only 17 percent of surveyed teachers in 2015–16 reported using phenomena at least weekly, that figure more than doubled to 36 percent the following year. Similarly, the percentage of teachers who reported using phenomena less than four times all year fell from 36 percent in 2015–16 to 17 percent in 2016–17."
