In January, CGLR launched the new year and its new GLR Learning Tuesdays webinar series “Big Bets Working,” which included a session on high-impact tutoring. Tutoring has been one of the most prominent strategies providing students with the learning support they need to recover from pandemic school closures and continue to advance their learning progress. In his recent State of the Union speech, President Joe Biden emphasized how important it is to sustain this prominent intervention when he said, “I want to expand high-quality tutoring.” Our January session focused on the landscape of successful programs and where, how and why tutoring is making a real impact. We explored the evidence and examples that demonstrate how and how much this critical intervention is advancing students along the learning continuum and generated knowledge to help advocate for sustaining essential programs for ongoing learning recovery.

Join us for a special rebroadcast of this “big bet working” session in which panelists unpack what it takes to implement a successful tutoring program, including:

• establishing programs with or within a school system;
• conducting tutoring sessions both in school and out of school;
• recruiting, training and retaining tutors; and
• ensuring regular attendance by students.

And once successfully implemented, how can a successful program scale to reach as many students as possible? Many states have scaled programs statewide and other successful tutoring programs have been able to scale to multiple states and communities. Much has been learned about implementation science and replicating successful models with fidelity. It is important to share these learnings so that more programs can achieve success for students and all students can continue to work with their tutors and progress in their learning and development.
