Note. Tools of the Mind was the reference group in each model as such positive coefficient indicate Tools classrooms had higher rates of an observed variable compared with the control classrooms. Coefficients reported are unstandardized regression coefficients from multilevel regression models. Estimates of effect sizes of curriculum differences provided are Cohen's d estimates standardized mean difference.
SD = standard deviation; SE = standard error.
Variable captured using the Teacher Observation Protocol (unless noted estimates are the proportion of sweeps across the three observations a given behavior was observed).
Variables captured using the Narrative Record (estimates are the proportion of time across the three observations a given instructional approach was observed).
