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 i1 Program-level completer ratings of TPA support were related to the likelihood of passing; odds of passing across all attempts were 1.7 times higher for candidates from the highest-rated versus lowest-rated programs. → Patrick 2024

q2 · i1 · associational · r?
Observational analysis linking program-level averages of the CTC program completer survey (66% of 14,709 completers reported being well or very well prepared for a TPA) to candidate TPA outcomes. The printed odds ratio of 1.7 is a small effect.
"The odds of passing a TPA across all attempts were 1.7 times higher for candidates from programs with the highest rating on TPA support compared to candidates from the lowest-rated programs."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Sufficient clinical feedback predicts TPA passing for preservice candidates but not for internship candidates — related
- Elementary candidates have lower TPA passing rates than secondary and special education candidates, possibly due to added assessment complexity — related
- Elementary and special education candidates from programs rated higher on literacy and math preparation have higher odds of passing the TPA — related
- Clinical support (communication, observation, feedback) is strongly related to perceived preparation effectiveness, yet 43% of preservice completers reported less than the required 600 hours of student teaching — related
