ESSA Tier 4: Demonstrates a Rationale

What does ESSA Tier 4 mean? The federal Every Student Succeeds Act sorts programs into four evidence tiers. Tier 4 means the program is built on a clear, research-based rationale and is being studied for its own effects. It qualifies for many federal funding streams.

Good to know

Is DoodleFace Parade proven to work?

Not on its own yet, and we won't claim it is. Our current evidence level is ESSA Tier 4, Demonstrates a Rationale: each activity is grounded in peer-reviewed research on the practice it uses, and we're working toward independent studies of the Parade itself.

How is my location used?

We use your location only to show the right standards. You can change it any time.
