High-Dosage Tutoring Can Make a Real Difference. Harvard's Strategic Data Project Wants to Help Districts Make the Most Of It

The Center for Education Policy Research (CEPR)’s Strategic Data Project has released a new toolkit to help bring effective high-dosage tutoring to students around the country.

“Measure, Monitor, Improve: Data Tools for Understanding High-Dosage Tutoring Implementation” aims to help solve common challenges when bringing tutoring programs to students and provides a set of data collection strategies, tools, and best practices for district leaders, policymakers, and academic researchers.

The toolkit is a collaboration between the Strategic Data Project, the national nonprofit Accelerate, and representatives from state departments of education in five U.S. states — Delaware, Colorado, Ohio, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Supported by the Overdeck Family Foundation, the project serves a shared goal: to use data to expand access to effective tutoring in real schools around the country.

“For over a decade, the Strategic Data Project has partnered with education agencies to strengthen their capacity for using data effectively,” said Miriam Greenburg, senior director of the Strategic Data Project, on the toolkit's webpage. “This toolkit is another step in our mission to ensure that every program, including high-dosage tutoring, is informed by meaningful evidence and analysis.”
