In the 2023-24 Call to Effective Action (CEA), Accelerate awarded funds to seven community-based organizations (CBOs) committed to implementing, testing, and scaling a school day tutoring model, granting up to $150K to models with a strong theory of action and some evidence of structures and resources for success.
To facilitate collaboration and knowledge-sharing, Accelerate hosted a larger Community of Practice (CoP) for all CEA grantees and select alumni, with additional technical assistance from ProvenTutoring for a smaller cohort of CBOs. ProvenTutoring supported these grantees as they implemented their programs during the 2023-24 school year, aiming to improve student achievement by helping organizations enhance the impact and scalability of their tutoring programs. Their findings are synthesized in a report, “Leveraging Community Based Organizations: High-Dosage Tutoring Pilots in Review”.
As a result of this work, ProvenTutoring produced a playbook for CBOs aiming to implement an impactful high-dosage tutoring model based on the accompanying synthesis report of this pilot program.
The playbook provides step-by-step guidance around the following:
- Prepare the School Partnership
- Design the Model
- Implementation
- Evaluating Impact
- Planning for Expansion
Thank you to our partners at ProvenTutoring for creating these resources.
Special thanks to our grantees who contributed to these findings.
