Monitor tutoring implementation and attendance regularly during program rollout¶

Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

This recommendation directs districts to establish regular monitoring of how a tutoring program is being implemented and whether students attend sessions, as an ongoing support activity after selection. The brief lists it among the actions districts "should consider... when exploring tutoring programs and supporting their implementation": "Monitor implementation and attendance regularly." It treats implementation fidelity and attendance as key levers districts can track during the 2021-2022-evaluated program models' rollout.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Districts must have processes in place for ongoing data collection on implementation and student attendance once a tutoring program is adopted

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

• middle years math students in school districts

Target Learning Goals¶

• math knowledge, perceptions, and beliefs

Related Strategies¶

• Consider both in-person and virtual tutoring options when selecting a math tutoring program
• Use a monthly school attendance team to review data and problem-solve
• Establish a monthly school implementation team with two days of pre-launch training and ongoing technical support
• Support district implementations of adaptive reading programs with a milestone-based implementation plan and ongoing data-informed coaching
• Plan mutual accountability for implementation, including rollout plans, educator supports, and early indicators for pivoting
