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? · qualitative · r1
Interview and site-visit findings from the district-charter collaboration grant evaluation. The report describes an "observational effect of collaboration" through which collaboration spread slowly in three grantee sites, while in other sites it did not extend beyond the grant. No effect size is reported.
"Collaboration appears to have slowly spread outside the formal grant activities in three grantee sites via the “observational effect of collaboration” but has not extended beyond the grant in other sites."
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Collaboration — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- Several collaboration activities show promise in spreading effective practices, but overall progress in increasing collaboration has been limited — a broader claim this one bears on
- Compact collaboration activities did not yield systemic change within the grant period but were perceived to have produced small-scale improvements in instructional quality and human capital practices and increased availability of school effectiveness information — related
- Several collaboration activities show promise in spreading effective practices across schools and staff, but overall progress in increasing collaboration has been limited — a broader claim this one bears on
- Perceptions of the sustainability of collaboration efforts beyond the grant period were mixed across grantee sites, and some respondents doubted cooperation alone is a viable mechanism for improving school effectiveness — related
- CLASP made limited progress on cooperative activities and little progress on developing replicable collaboration models — related
