High Dosage Tutoring as an Additional Layer within a Multi-Tiered System of Supports
High Dosage Tutoring as an Additional Layer within a Multi-Tiered System of Supports
How are we identifying students that may benefit from an added layer of support from high dosage tutoring?
Our target as a district is students needing additional support in K-8 Literacy and Mathematics and credit recovery at the high school level.
Priority - Academic Need: Starting the year behind the 35th percentile in reading or math and falling further behind by at least a 5 percentile (grades K-8); off-track to accrue graduation credits (grades 9-12).
Schools will consider students meeting the priority criteria and how high dosage tutoring may be layered onto existing supports. Schools can identify additional students that may benefit from high dosage tutoring.
Tutoring sessions should focus on content that aligns with student support plans (eg. MTSS, READ, Language) available in Enrich.
