In 2018, over half of all Oregon kindergartners were living in poverty and performed below the state average on the Oregon Kindergarten Assessment (OKA). Positive deviance (PD) is an approach that highlights uncommon practices that reduce risk in low-resource communities. We used a PD?approach to analyze data from the 2018-2019 OKA to identify positive deviants, defined as schools serving a large percentage of low-income children who are excelling on the OKA.}, number = {IR}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/m039k560k}, recid = {8276}, address = {2020}, }
