Getting tutoring right to reduce COVID-19 learning loss

Associate Professor Matthew Kraft co-authors this article recommending large-scale tutoring programs to help students catch up in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In The Brookings Institution's Brown Center Chalkboard, Associate Professor of Education Matthew Kraft and Michael Goldstein (Match Education) advocate for large-scale tutoring initiatives as a way to support struggling students and to be a successful economic stimulus policy. "Many students have had limited access and opportunity to learn from their teachers since March. Tutoring offers a promising way to meet every student where they are and help them to catch up. But creating tutoring programs that generate meaningful academic gains requires changing the way most schools have approached them."
