Subclaims¶
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.
q1 i? Value-added estimates of teacher and principal contributions toward student achievement growth were obtained during the first phase of the multiyear Pennsylvania pilot. → Stephen Lipscomb 2012
