To understand how tutoring actually works, and how to make it work better, we need to understand full set of resources required to deliver the program, not just sticker price.
Grant & Huffman: Effective programs aren’t about finding a silver bullet. They’re about building reliable systems that work for kids every day.
Grantees will generate rigorous evidence that informs how AI tools can improve student outcomes.
When the windfall of pandemic-era federal stimulus money that helped districts weather the crisis expired in 2024, it raised a key question: Would the tutoring programs school systems scrambled to implement during that period prove to be temporary?
