Closing Thoughts
Over the past several years, the field of high-impact tutoring has grown tremendously, with districts, states, and tutoring providers working together to expand access to evidence-based programs that drive student learning. Research consistently demonstrates that high-impact tutoring is one of the most effective interventions for accelerating academic achievement, and its successful implementation has become a cornerstone of student support nationwide.
This Toolkit is a testament to the collective efforts of education leaders, researchers, and practitioners who have contributed their expertise to advancing high-impact tutoring. The National Student Support Accelerator, a program of the SCALE initiative at Stanford, is deeply grateful for the invaluable insights, resources, and dedication shared by so many in the field. We hope this Toolkit makes it easier for tutoring providers and their partner districts to launch and sustain effective tutoring programs that support student success.
We welcome your feedback and suggestions for future updates and look forward to celebrating the continued growth of equitable, high-quality high-impact tutoring programs across the country.
