Our approach to accelerating learning and educational equity focuses on strengthening students’ sense of belonging in school through meaningful connections with caring adults. Because when every student has access to positive and empowering relationships, every student can see and achieve their potential and success. As the national leader in high-impact tutoring, we help districts develop and implement high-quality, in-school tutoring models. We co-design and collaborate with schools and institutions, offering our expertise and best-in-class learning technology tools and resources.
WHAT IS HIGH-IMPACT
TUTORING?
High-impact tutoring is held during the regular school day and woven into the fabric of the daily school schedule as a supplement to core classroom instruction. Tutoring happens in small groups—a ratio of one tutor to every 4 to 5 students. High-impact tutoring is held three times a week, at least for 30-50 minutes a day. The same tutor follows the students throughout the school year to build trust and consistent relationships. The tutors receive ongoing feedback and professional development. Tutors use a high-quality curriculum aligned with academic standards, practices, and assessments to monitor student progress.
SYSTEMS CHANGE IN
K-12 EDUCATION
We inform and influence policymakers, the education community, and the public about high-impact tutoring as an effective, evidence-based solution to increase academic performance and accelerate educational equity. Our goal is to shift policies, mindsets, practices, and the flow of resources so that high-quality, in-school tutoring is part of the fabric of K–12 education.
