North Carolina nonprofit Heart Math will use the $250,000 award to expand school-day tutoring to students of color and those in poverty.

Experts say administrators need to start planning now to sustain the tutoring, mental health, and other interventions started during the pandemic.
J-PAL North America is partnering with Accelerate to launch the Tutoring Evaluation Accelerator, which aims to support ten tutoring providers from Accelerate’s Call to Effective Action to implement data-driven programs and generate critical evidence on tutoring.
Accelerate announced Thursday that tutoring outfits across the country would receive either $150,000 “Innovation” grants or $250,000 “Promise” grants.
The grants come from Accelerate’s Call to Effective Action program, which supports innovation, research, and implementation in the tutoring field in order to help expand access to high-impact tutoring and raise student achievement.
The grants have been awarded by Accelerate’s States Leading Recovery program, which is focused on helping states adopt evidence-based tutoring models and address academic gaps by ensuring students receive effective individualized instruction.
