Highly effective strategies have been deployed for malaria control, AIDS treatment, school feeding programs using locally produced foods, an African Green Revolution, emergency obstetrical care, safe delivery and neonatal survival, village-based interventions, safe drinking water, the use of information and communication technology in rural and urban settings, and much more.
The RESPeCT project is using a quasi-experimental research design with a comparison group of "business-as-usual" teachers from schools matched to treatment school demographics.
The RESPeCT program directly includes collaborative roles in the PUSD district for 35 teacher PD leaders, six treatment school principals, four teacher PD specialists (English Learner, English Language Arts, Primary Education, and Secondary Science), district level support staff, the Director of District Professional Development, the Director of Principal Support, and the Deputy Superintendent.
In addition to age limits for certain firearm purchases, violence in video games, access to mental health treatment, school building security and Obama-era guidance on school discipline, Trump also directed the commission to consider how journalists cover mass shootings.
For exam performance and cognitive tests, 34% of eligible children were included in the treatment school (group 1) and 32% in the control school (group 2 and 3).
This makes the difference between Group 2 and Group 3 in 1999 (0.055, s.e. 0.028), when Group 2 had become a treatment school, even more impressive, since at baseline Group 2 had slightly lower school participation.
Many are hungry, and have no access to medical treatment, schools or clean water.
Soon after Safe Cycle was delivered at treatment schools, research bicycles instrumented with a rearward- and a forward-facing camera were loaned to six children from treatment schools and six children from (waitlist) control schools.
At the same time, in the 24 states where lawmaking by ballot is permitted, voters went on a spending spree of their own, mandating money for drug treatment, schools, parks and roads.
Treatment schools altered their schedules to have teachers specialize in a subset of subjects in which they have demonstrated relative strength (based on value-add measures and principal observations).
Deworming reduced serious worm infections by half amongst children in the treatment groups, increased school participation by at least 7 percentage points (equating to a one-quarter reduction in school absenteeism), and had spillover effects to the entire community and those living up to 6 kilometers away from treatment schools.
