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? Students of instructors enacting all three key components had grades about 0.35 points higher than expected. → Barbara Means 2026

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Comparison of implementation rates for individual fidelity elements between classes with positive vs. negative grade residuals. Three components showed "moderate-to-large differences"; consistent enactment of all three was associated with "grades about 0.35 points higher than expected."
"Students of instructors who consistently enacted all three of these key implementation components had course-level grades about 0.35 points higher than expected based on their prior achievement."
