Description¶

The article's dosage model schedules tutoring "two to three times per week for 30-minute sessions over a 12-week period," and reports that students reaching the recommended dosage of 20 or more sessions showed markedly stronger results (ES = +0.26). The strategy is implementable as recurring short sessions embedded in the school schedule with on-site staff supervision.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

Scheduling capacity for two to three 30-minute sessions per student per week
A 12-week implementation window
On-site school staff to supervise tutoring sessions

Constraints¶

Effects reported here come from a 12-week implementation in first through fourth grade cohorts; the page does not claim the schedule transfers to other durations or grades

Target Learners¶

Elementary students (grades 1-4 in the evaluated study)

Target Learning Goals¶

Reading growth measured on NWEA MAP

Certify tutors before tutoring begins and provide professional development to supervising school staff
