TSCG Design An experimental design with random assignment to treatment or control is being used. Treatment effects will be examined using a 3-level growth-curve model to explore specific school, group, and individual differences as well as to discern whether the individual growth of students in the treatment program is greater than that of the control group. Comparing the growth curves of the treatment and control groups will allow determination of treatment effectiveness. Teacher perceptions and practices will also be assessed both quantitatively and qualitatively at treatment and control sites.
