q2 i? Higher participation in professional development in 1997 was not significantly related to increases in orientation toward innovation over the next two years, though schools with increased participation between 1997 and 1999 also showed increased orientation. → Mark A. Smylie 2001

q2 · i? · associational · r3
School-level longitudinal analysis of the 1997 and 1999 Consortium surveys examining whether 1997 participation frequency predicted subsequent change in school orientation toward innovation. The report prints no effect size for this null finding.
"However, higher participation in professional development in 1997 was not significantly related to increases in ori- entation toward innovation over the next two years."
