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? The report explicitly limits the generalizability of its findings to a national estimate. → Brian Gill 2009

Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- The report explicitly discusses limitations of the Oklahoma value-added model — related
- The case study cannot distinguish which program elements caused the positive impacts — related
- None of the WWC-standards-meeting studies of Tier 2 literacy interventions were conducted in CNMI or other Pacific islands, limiting generalizability — a broader claim this one bears on
