Behavioral Performance Assessment

For the 924 students who had complete sets of pre and post data on behavioral performance, there was a statistically significant difference in pre and post mean scores when compared by a correlated t-test (Table 3).

Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test applied to the same data reveals that for All Students 33% were Above Expectations, 60% At Expectations, and only 7% performed Below Expectations (Chart 4).

Substantial gains were made by five of the subgroups. In each of the subgroups, more than half of the students were performing At Expectations and approximately one-third of Males, Females, Special Education, and students in PT Districts were perceived as performing Above Expectations. As was true for Academic Achievement, there is a subgroup for whom the intervention was insufficient.
