Schools across the country are implementing high-dosage tutoring programs to accelerate student learning. But many face challenges finding high-quality tutors and sustaining the programs now that federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funding has ended. Schools of education are stepping up to fill the need by having their undergraduates tutor students in partner schools.
FutureEd hosted a webinar on this new strategy for expanding the supply of tutors in the nation’s public schools, focusing on how programs in Ohio and Virginia are making these win-win partnerships work. Moderated by FutureEd’s Associate Director Maureen Tracey-Mooney, the discussion featured:
- Christoph Hill, principal of Westlawn Elementary School
- Meredith Fortner, executive director of EduTutorVA
- Susanna Loeb, professor and director, SCALE Initiative, Stanford University
- Dawn Shinew, dean of the College of Education and Human Development at Bowling Green State University
