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? The district acknowledged that disparities in computing participation and achievement persisted even after building the inclusive pathway, prompting equity conversations and formative assessment work. → Digital Promise 2021

q1 · i? · design · r2
Case-report statement of a district-acknowledged outcome: participation and achievement gaps for young women and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds remained after pathway development. No effect sizes or test statistics are printed, so impact is null.
"The district acknowledged that disparities in computing participation and achievement persisted, despite their development of an inclusive CT pathway."
