Implementation of the OSSE High Impact Tutoring Initiative - School Year 2023 – 2024 Second Year Report

The second full school year (2023-24) of the OSSE High Impact Tutoring Initiative expanded the reach of an already ambitious program. The Initiative served 7,274 students, approximately 8% of students in DC schools and 12% of students classified at-risk. The Initiative was able to increase participation by 2,000 students from its first year of implementation while also increasing the successful targeting of at-risk students who stand to benefit most from the program. The Initiative also increased the average dosage level to 33.86 sessions. Collectively, this is a significant improvement in program scale and program delivery, ensuring that increases in tutoring continue to serve students who are most in need of potential benefits.  

Individualized tutoring can combat chronic absenteeism

A high impact tutoring initiative in Washington, D.C., showed promise for middle schoolers and those with extreme absenteeism, a new report finds.

Dive Brief:

  • One-to-one tutoring can lower absenteeism rates by fostering student-teacher relationships and a sense of belonging, making students more willing to go to school, a recent report from the Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University found.
  • The study looked at the High-Impact Tutoring Initiative launched in 2021 to provide math and reading tutoring across 141 Washington, D.C., public K-12 schools — with the greatest focus on serving at-risk students.
  • The positive effects were particularly strong for middle school students and students with extreme absenteeism rates in the prior year, who were 13.7% and 7% less likely, respectively, to be absent when tutoring sessions were scheduled, the study found.

Tutoring Giant’s Sudden Demise Linked to End of Federal Relief Funds

FEV Tutor further evolved last year when it announced a new AI-enhanced platform, Tutor CoPilot. The tool makes tutors more effective by giving them guiding questions to ask students. In a randomized trial, the National Student Support Accelerator at Stanford University, which studies tutoring models, found that when less-experienced tutors used the AI support, student math scores increased an average of 9 percentage points.

Stanford initiative helps scale what works in education

Over the past couple of years, scaling well-researched solutions has been shown to also counter the negative effects of the pandemic, Loeb said, from widening achievement gaps and missed school time, to poorer social and emotional development. Her team recently launched the National Student Support Accelerator (NSSA) to address educational inequities resulting from the pandemic. NSSA conducts research on the most promising tutoring practices and works with district leaders and others to provide research-backed guidance on implementing high-impact tutoring. 

“Our students deserve this work,” Loeb said. “From our research, we learn so much about how to engage students and accelerate their learning. The practical, easy-to-use learnings from research need to reach decision makers so that our students can benefit.”

Tips by Text and NSSA are part of SCALE, Loeb’s new initiative at the Stanford Accelerator for Learning, a university-wide effort addressing some of the most challenging issues in education through research, partnerships, and technological innovation.
