Description¶

Galaxy Math's professional development model combines "a 2-day initial workshop" with ongoing support: tutors "participate in weekly meetings with project coordinators to review the progress of each child." Training is provided through AIR, where implementers specify tutoring type, grade level, number of trainees, and location.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Access to AIR tutor training and project coordinators for weekly meetings

Constraints¶

• Training logistics require negotiating dates with a trainer

Target Learners¶

• at-risk first graders

Target Learning Goals¶

• fidelity and effectiveness of scripted math tutoring delivery

Related Strategies¶

• Implement Curiosity Corner with two initial training workshop days plus ongoing onsite coaching and support
• Pair program adoption with two days of initial training and weekly coaching meetings
• Arrange PALS tutor training through AIR by specifying training type, grade level, group size, and location
