I would have thought that the only bench mark would be the changes in individual student performance, prior to support and post. That is, each student is their own benchmark. It would be an interesting study and would probably yield some unexpected insights.

Subject: analysis of learning support
Dear all
I wonder if anyone can advise on helpful ways of analysing impact of
learning support provision? We have done comparisons of results between
students in receipt of learning support and those not - but these seem
fraught with difficulty due to too many variables (level of need, level of
take up of support, when started etc etc); we also obviously do student
and staff feedback surveys regularly too and pursue other case
based/qualitative lines of enquiry but would like to try something more
robust.
Any suggestions (and thanks in advance!)
