SOURCE: Spring 2009 Teacher Knowledge Test (Second Year Teacher Impact Analysis Sample).
NOTES: The impact analyses for teacher knowledge were conducted using measures scaled in logits. The estimated impacts are based on a two-level model controlling for random assignment block and teacher-level covariates.
The figure displays regression-adjusted mean outcomes for each group, using the mean covariate values for teachers in the treatment group as the basis for the adjustment.
The values for the percent correctly answering items of average difficulty for the test instrument correspond to the estimated treatment and control group means, scaled in logits.
P-values are based on t-tests. Two-tailed statistical significance at the p ≤ .05 level is indicated by an asterisk (*).
