Personalized Learning - Tutoring Options

What is High Impact Tutoring?

Tutoring is a form of teaching, often conducted one-on-one or in small groups, aimed at achieving specific learning objectives, but not all tutoring is the same.  High-impact Tutoring can lead to significant learning progress for students by enhancing their classroom experiences rather than replacing them. As LEAs consider how to best facilitate learning acceleration, many are considering high impact tutoring (HIT), as there is strong evidence that high impact tutoring is one of the most effective ways to increase learning gains for students.

ESC-20 identifies High-Impact Tutoring programs as those that have characteristics known to enhance student progress.
