Theory of Action If administrators and staff support the hiring and professional development

of paraprofessional tutors,

If tutors and teachers align tutoring content with classroom-providedinstruction and learner profiles,

If tutors provide a combination of 1:1 and small group sessions for 1- 5students on a daily basis during class, but apart from whole classinstruction,

If tutors establish a positive and supportive learning environment,

THEN academic support will be provided to more underperformingstudents,

THEN student's sense of efficacy and motivation will improve, and

THEN student achievement will improve.

Recommendations60% of teachers agree:

Title I funds should be used to support the hiringand professional development of tutors who serveduring the instructional day.

Tutors should push in to the regular classroom toprovide academic assistance as a component inthe inclusion model.

This model of tutoring supports ACADEMICGROWTHof all students, not just L1 and L2(Can we say Standard 6 & 8???)

Next Steps

Train tutors on the writing process, key writing skills, and

problem solving skills so they can help students with morerigorous work ( vs worksheets, drill and practice).

Teachers at each grade level identify 3-5 strategies and skillsthat every student must master, then train tutors on how totutor/teach these skills and strategies. These skills and

strategies should apply across the content areas and changeas often as needed.

Provide training on the instructional use of SmartBoards, iPodtouches, and other available technologies.
