To do this, we must become culturally responsive... - 1/1/06 - Alicja Rieger, Ewa McGrail, Equity Alliance at ASU

"This study was the first randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of Odyssey Math on student achievement. The study had the statistical power needed to detect a 0.20 effect size and was well designed in that comparable groups were created at baseline and maintained through posttesting. Implementation during the school year was documented and shown to be consistent with typical implementation of the Odyssey Math software. The results from the multilevel model with pretest covariates... - 1/1/06 - Johnstone, C. , Altman, J., Thurlow, M.
