Related Claims¶
- High schools that foster 8th-to-9th-grade student growth across multiple dimensions positively influence students' social and academic trajectories — related
- School quality measures that exclude schools' impacts on socioemotional development underestimate or misidentify many impactful schools — related
- Schools' impacts on socioemotional development and behaviors in 9th grade matter substantially more for long-run trajectories than test score impacts — related
- Social-emotional value-added measures are nearly as predictive of a high school's impact on test scores as test-score value-added — a broader claim this one bears on
- School and teacher effects on students' school experiences influence social and educational trajectories more than their effects on academic achievement measures — related
