Treffer: HB21-1234: Supplemental Education High-Impact Tutoring Programs

Significant interruptions to in-person learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic have led to potentially long-lasting negative impacts on student achievement, impacting every part of Colorado education. As cited by the National Student Success Accelerator (NSSA) at Stanford University, a meta-analysis reviewed tutoring interventions that were evaluated by randomized controlled trials in the past few decades and found, on average, tutoring increased learning by the equivalent of students attending an additional 3-15 months of school. Tutoring has also positively impacted other measures including school engagement, grades in other courses, and benefits to the tutor such as exposure to teaching as a career. Through the high-impact tutoring program (HITP) grant, the Colorado Department of Education (Department) provides funding for local education providers to implement high-impact tutoring. This report details the progress of the third cohort of grantees. The report documents the current impact and level of participation, summarizing progress, challenges, and preliminary trends.
