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.
q3 i? Cumulative four-year TEP effects equal 78% of the Hispanic-white gap in math, 17% in ELA, and 25% in science. → Joshua Ferguson 2014

A second benchmark analysis in the same evaluation expresses the cumulative four-year effect against the Hispanic-white achievement gap: "approximately equivalent to 78% of the Hispanic-white achievement gap in math", 17% in ELA, and 25% in science.
"TEP's cumulative effect on student achievement over four years is approximately equivalent to 78% of the Hispanic-white achievement gap in math, 17% of the Hispanic-white gap in English language arts, and 25% of the Hispanic-white gap in science"
