At the Accelerate and ProvenTutoring Convening, the conversation was less about whether tutoring works (it does!) and more about how to execute it well at scale.
New federal grants will help states spread tutoring to rural areas.
Boys’ reading struggles are not inevitable, research suggests, and addressing the deficit could improve outcomes in school and beyond.

The Call for Effective Technology grant program (CET) seeks to shape evidence-based policies and quality standards for AI and tech integration in education.
