Clayful Coaching: Boosting Attendance with Proven Impact
Clayful’s ESSA Level III research study highlights how proactive coaching drives measurable improvements in student attendance. Students who used Clayful had a 95% attendance rate compared to 92% for non-users, equivalent to gaining an additional week of instructional time annually. Among chronically absent students, the impact was even more significant, with Clayful users gaining nearly two additional weeks of instruction. The study demonstrates Clayful’s ability to enhance engagement and attendance across diverse student demographics, including non-native English speakers and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
About ESSA Evidence Levels:
Clayful’s studies have achieved ESSA Level II, III, and IV certifications, reflecting a robust foundation of evidence and effectiveness in real-world educational settings.
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) establishes four levels of evidence to evaluate the effectiveness of educational programs:
1. Level I (Strong Evidence): Based on randomized control trials.
2. Level II (Moderate Evidence): Involves well-designed quasi-experimental studies with statistically significant results.
3. Level III (Promising Evidence): Relies on correlational studies with controlled variables.
4. Level IV (Demonstrates a Rationale): Supported by a strong logic model and existing research.
Clayful’s alignment with federal ESSA standards ensures its eligibility for Title I funding, enabling school districts to invest in proven, evidence-based interventions that address critical student needs.
