The recovery from COVID-era learning loss could last awhile for some students and school systems.
To speed the journey, more district leaders are enhancing everyday school instruction with formalized tutoring programs that experts increasingly see as the most effective and equitable way to drive student growth.
“The pandemic has shined a light on the acute needs of millions of public school students who have not been well-served by traditional group instruction, as evidenced by longstanding and large educational opportunity gaps across race and socio-economic lines” says Matthew A. Kraft, at associate professor of education and economics at Brown University who is considered a leading voice on tutoring.
