In the 2023-24 academic year, Accelerate selected 33 grantees from a pool of 110 applicants to join the second cohort of the Call to Effective Action grant program (CEA). These organizations include high-dosage tutoring providers, school districts, and community-based organizations that have implemented a range of tutoring models—virtual, in-person, and hybrid/blended approaches—serving students from Pre-K through 12th grade in Math and English Language Arts (ELA).
Building on insights gathered through continuous evaluation efforts over the past three years, this report deepens understanding of effective tutoring implementation. These insights contribute to the growing pool of best practices for high-dosage tutoring and move the field forward by offering specific, actionable lessons that can provide guidance to other tutoring providers, districts, and education organizations.
As we review the emerging themes and lessons from this cohort, many reinforce findings from our previous year while offering new insights to guide Accelerate’s strategic direction and future grantmaking. The report shares the most significant implications for expanding effective tutoring programs at scale.
