High Dosage Tutoring Study

This mixed- methods study examines the impact and cost-effectiveness of a high dosage tutoring model for 4th grade math in a district with a proven track record of success in implementing such a model. High dosage tutoring is defined as frequent (three or more sessions per week), small group (three or four students per tutor) tutoring conducted during the school day by an adult who has been trained to deliver instruction that helps students meet grade level standards. This study will allow local, state, and national practitioners and policymakers to weigh the costs and benefits of two different approaches to delivering tutoring: a whole grade model and a targeted tutoring model.
