Note. Tools of the Mind was the reference group in each model as such positive coefficient indicate children in Tools classrooms made greater residualized gains (posttest scores controlling for pretest) compared with children in the control classrooms. Coefficients are unstandardized regression coefficients from multilevel regression models that controlled for pretest, gender, home language (English or not), Individual Education Plan status (additional supports for children with learning difficulties), age at pretest, and interval from pretest. Estimates of effect sizes of curriculum differences provided are Cohen's d estimates standardized mean difference.
