The paper reports "moderately strong evidence" that high-dosage tutoring is "positively associated with charter schools’ achievement impacts," alongside teacher feedback and data-use practices. No effect sizes are printed.

"In addition, moderately strong evidence suggests that high-dosage tutoring, frequent feedback and coaching for teachers, and policies promoting the use of data to guide teachers’ instructional practices are positively associated with charter schools’ achievement impacts."

Learner Variables¶

Related Claims¶

• High-dosage tutoring, frequent teacher feedback and coaching, and data-driven instructional practices show moderately strong evidence of association with charter-school achievement impacts — a broader claim this one bears on
• Assignment to BookNook tutoring produces a small but statistically significant increase in reading growth on the NWEA MAP for grade 1-4 students — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• High dosage tutoring can produce accelerated academic growth for academically at-risk students if implemented effectively and at proper scale — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• High-dosage tutoring directly tied to classroom content can substantially accelerate learning in math and reading for the most struggling students — related
