High-Dosage Tutoring: State Strategies for Advancing Equitable Learning Recovery

High-dosage tutoring has emerged as both an effective intervention and a smart investment to support equitable learning recovery. Tutoring supplements quality instruction especially for children who have experienced significant learning loss as a result of the pandemic. Unfortunately, the children most in need of this intervention — and those most likely to benefit — are often unlikely to have access to high-quality and high-dosage tutoring. Tutoring has the potential to make significant academic gains for children who have experienced significant lost learning time. States and school districts can play an essential role in ensuring equitable access to the evidence-based tutoring that can accelerate learning and address learning loss. A recent report by Casey Sullivan Taylor, ExcelinEd’s Policy Director for Early Literacy, explores tutoring initiatives in a number of states that are leveraging evidenced-based models for high-dosage tutoring.
