Leveraging Community-Based Organizations for High-Dosage Tutoring
Jennifer Bronson; Jennifer Krajewski
State Education Standard, v25 n1 2025
High-dosage tutoring or high-impact tutoring refers to a type of tutoring proven to be effective at closing learning gaps and improving student outcomes. This systemic approach uses an empirically supported model and is delivered by a consistent, trained tutor on a near-daily basis and takes place during the school day for 10-36 weeks. In the wake of the pandemic, high-dosage tutoring emerged as the most powerful intervention to address persistent achievement gaps exacerbated by interrupted schooling. This article describes how Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) are well positioned to support educational initiatives such as high-dosage tutoring. States and districts can reach more students, particularly those in underserved communities, by partnering with CBOs to implement sustainable, impactful tutoring that is culturally responsive and complementary to school-based efforts. Policy recommendations include leveraging community strengths, creating a supportive environment for CBO-led high-dosage tutoring programs, and producing a system focused on academic outcomes that ensures quality implementation and data-driven decision making.
