Why high-impact tutoring?

Based on its solid research foundation, the Initiative utilizes the high-impact model to deliver tutoring across the state. According to the National Student Support Accelerator, “Rigorous research shows that High-Impact Tutoring is unusually effective for accelerating student learning.

In fact, it is more effective than other interventions that have been tested and is effective across grade and content levels.” High-impact tutoring is based on the foundational elements of equity, safety, and cohesion and features:

Consistent Tutors

Consistent tutors who are well-supported and trained in culturally relevant tutoring practices and social-emotional learning (SEL) practices in addition to content material

Quality Resources

Use of high-quality resources that are aligned with curriculum and learning standards

Tight-Knit

One-to-one or small group delivery for at least three sessions per week

Data-Driven

Program instruction and improvement that is data-driven

Incredible Impact

The numbers speak for themselves

The Illinois Tutoring initiative supports the learning and social/emotional well-being of students in the wake of the pandemic by building confident learners through high-impact tutoring. Tutoring is available in-person for reading and math for students in grades 3-8. Online math tutoring is available for high school students.
