What is the “goodness of fit” between the proposed theoretical model and the measurement model employed?
Products: The project’s model allows assessment of causal questions and will help to link the findings to broader theory. Because theoretical assumptions and intervention are based on prior empirical evidence, the authors believe the intervention proposed will lead to results that alter the developmental trajectories of students, decrease their school risk factors, and the school will serve as a mediating factor in their social and academic growth. Participating school districts will coordinate dissemination of project findings, tools, and materials within their districts.
