Change |
| Grade |
79.6% |
87.7% |
+8.1% |
| Missed Work |
9.3% |
5.3% |
-43.0% |
Result: Yes, students score 8% higher and miss 43% less work when their parents access TeacherEase.
Question #2: Do students who access TeacherEase perform better than those who don't?
| |
Without Access |
With Access |
Change |
| Grade |
82.4% |
85.4% |

| Missed Work |
8.0% |
5.9% |
-26.3% |
Result: Yes, students who access TeacherEase score 3% higher and miss 26% less work.
Assertion: Couldn't these improvements be due to the fact that only the "top" students (or their parents)
access TeacherEase and the lower-performaing ones don't? As such, we could be seeing a bias instead
of a performance increase due to TeacherEase. To filter out this bias, we re-ran the study by looking at only
students who eventually access TeacherEase.
Question #3: For students whose parents access TeacherEase, do they perform better
after the first parent login?
