What are the CCCSE Promising Practices?
Approach
Are there differences in benchmark scores between students who participate in promising practices, and those who do not?
To answer this question, we need to control for the effects of covariates:
Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to investigate the differences in benchmark scores between participants and non-participants while controlling for the variables above.
