University Instructors


Awarded NSSA Tutoring
Program Design Badge

Mission:

University Instructors (UI) helps students develop the skills, attitudes, and visions to accomplish their dreams and aspirations, and we help school districts build dynamic educator pipelines to ensure all students have great teachers. We envision a world in which schools, organizations, and communities effectively partner to provide students with purposeful learning experiences led by inspirational educators. We are committed to co-creating and implementing impactful instructional services with our school partners to enhance student achievement and build local talent pipelines.

Program Description:

UI's high-impact tutoring program follows an evidence-based model designed to boost K-12 students' academic achievement in core content areas. UI instructors work with assigned small groups of students to advance equitable learning recovery. The most significant impact in this model is found when UI instructors are embedded into the school schedule to deliver instruction to groups of three students (or less) for at least 30 minutes per session 3-5 times a week. The consistent relationship between students and instructors is critical to building trust and elevating learning. Students who participate in at least 26 instructional sessions with UI instructors are expected to experience an academic achievement increase of 15% as measured by end-of-year state assessments.
