Description¶

The brief enumerates seven state strategies for building intensive tutoring systems: "Statewide investments in creating a tutoring workforce," research-based program guardrails, publicly available resources for district and school leaders, statewide professional development, legislative action, creation of central sources of information on state-approved high-quality tutoring programs and vendors, and targeting services to schools' most underserved students. State officials are positioned as deployers of effective tutoring systems via guidance, technical assistance, and support to district leaders.
