Operate high-dosage virtual tutoring with program-managed tutors and monthly literacy-specialist data meetings so school staff need no additional professional development¶

Strategy · All strategies
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The program hires and manages all tutors, provides a literacy specialist who oversees student outcomes and reports data monthly, and supplies a customer success manager for scheduling and technology. Because instruction uses an evidence-based curriculum managed by the program, "school and district staff do not require professional development for the program implementation." Monthly data meetings give teachers insights into student progress and gaps to reinforce skills in class.
