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.
q2 i? All but two of the teacher survey domains and scales have small or moderate correlations with supervisors' ratings, with values ranging from 0.26 to 0.46. → Kozakowski 2021

q2 · i? · associational · r?
Correlational analysis relating teacher survey domain and scale scores to DCPS principal supervisors' ratings found "values ranging from 0.26 to 0.46" for all but two domains and scales; two measures fell outside this pattern. The page prints a correlation range but no single standardized effect size for a specific contrast, so no impact magnitude is coded.
"All but two of the teacher survey domains and scales have small or moderate correlations with supervisors’ ratings of principals’ leadership, with values ranging from 0.26 to 0.46."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Staff feedback from teacher surveys can serve as evidence in evaluating school leaders' performance — related
- Teacher survey measures correlate most with the Instruction, Talent, and School Culture domains of DCPS principal supervisor assessments — related
- Most teacher survey domains and scales used by DCPS meaningfully differentiate among schools — related
- Relational trust correlates with school leadership and with collaboration among teachers in both contexts — related
- There is little prior evidence on the validity of principal evaluation measures, and this is the first study linking practice ratings to credible value-added measures — related
