Even though ESSER funding is running out, alternative funding sources are available for tutoring programs, including Title I funds, AmeriCorps grants, Federal Work-Study programs, Hawkins Grants, and Department of Labor apprenticeships. High-impact tutoring can significantly improve graduation rates, especially by focusing on interventions in grade three literacy and ninth-grade algebra. Tutoring pays off financially for schools: Retained students generate more per-pupil funding. The most successful tutoring programs embed tutors within the classroom structure, creating a strong connection between tutors and teachers.
For ten years, Saga Education has been at the forefront of a movement shattering the one-size-fits-all mold in education. We believe every student deserves personalized attention, and every teacher, a supportive village. That’s why we champion high-impact tutoring, a transformative approach that empowers educators and unlocks student potential. As we celebrate a decade of impact, let’s explore the power of this model and how it can revolutionize your classroom.
Tutoring boosts academic performance, but more research is needed to pinpoint the most effective methods. Accelerate’s report analyzed 89 K-12 studies to assess tutoring approaches’ impact on student achievement. With federal funding ending, cost-effective interventions are crucial. Although less than a quarter of studies met evidence standards, Saga Education’s tutoring showed significant gains. Accelerate’s analysis highlights the importance of tutoring dosage and effectiveness, guiding states and districts towards impactful solutions.
