After nearly 18 months of disrupted learning, many students are entering this school year with significant gaps in core skills and knowledge. One much-discussed way to help students learn more, faster has been high-dosage tutoring in core subject areas, which has a significant evidence base behind it, but can be very challenging to implement in practice, especially in a way that can reach the students with the most need for these interventions.
This session will help funders understand the available research on tutoring interventions and what kind of dosage and structure has been shown to lead to meaningful impact. We’ll then unpack the landscape in New York City, including successes and challenges around operationalizing tutoring programs (e.g., logistics/scheduling, recruiting and training a workforce, data sharing, choosing the right setting), funding streams, and some nascent plans for piloting, expanding, and potentially scaling high-impact tutoring interventions. This session will include initial lessons learned from some tutoring pilots that ran over last school year and summer 2021.
