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? Most teacher survey measures (19 of 27) had Rasch reliabilities at or above 0.80, and all but one met the 0.70 minimum threshold; the Early Childhood Discipline measure fell below 0.70 and was removed. → Ehrlich 2016

q2 · i? · design · r2
Rasch analysis (Winsteps, Version 3.90.2) of the combined CPS (1,153 teachers) and FACES (n=363) spring 2015 pilot samples assessed measure reliability. Measures retained but below 0.80 were revised for a new round of testing.
"Most measures on the teacher survey (19 of 27) had reliabilities at or above our preferred threshold of 0.80, and all but one measure met our 0.70 minimum threshold. The one measure with reliability below 0.70—Early Childhood Discipline—has been removed from the survey for future iterations"
