“We wanted to provide targeted tutoring to support development of skills, confidence, competence, and knowledge for students most impacted by COVID-19,” said Carolyne Quintana, the education department’s deputy chancellor for teaching and learning. The Biden administration has encouraged districts across the country to use tutoring to help address gaps in instruction because of the pandemic. National test scores for math and reading among 9-year-olds fell during the pandemic, setting averages back decades on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, commonly referred to as the nation’s report card.that tutoring can help, when implemented well, with sessions totaling 90 minutes a week or more.
The city is partnering with a nonprofit called ExpandEd Schools. The city is kicking in $15 million in stimulus funds to pay for tutoring and private funders are paying more than $4 million for training. ExpandEd Schools will work with schools to vet tutors and help them prepare.
