High Impact Tutoring in the Digital Age: Harnessing Technology to Implement Evidence-Based Approaches at Scale

• In Event: Thursday Roundtable Session 12:40 pm
  In Roundtable Session: Dismantling Educational Injustices: Outcomes of Implementing Statewide High-Impact Tutoring (Table 13)

Abstract

Objectives or Purposes:

This session explores the nexus of technology and evidence-based tutoring strategies in addressing educational challenges intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary objective is to highlight how , developed with guidance from the National Student Support Accelerator at Stanford University, enables seamless implementation and scaling of high-impact tutoring programs adhering to research-backed practices.


Perspective(s) or Theoretical Framework:

The session is framed within the context of the increasing need for effective, scalable solutions to combat learning loss and generations of inequities in education. We will employ a practical perspective, drawing on our experiences and learnings from designing and implementing the platform, influenced heavily by the research and recommendations of the National Student Support Accelerator.



Methods, Techniques, or Modes of Inquiry:

The inquiry will focus on developing a tutoring platform that caters to the needs of diverse stakeholders while staying true to high-impact tutoring standards. The session will discuss the integration of evidence-based practices into the platform's design and function and the mechanisms for data collection and analysis that drive decision-making.


Data Sources, Evidence, Objects, or Materials:

Evidence presented will draw on data collected via the platform, including instructional, social-emotional, assessment, and demographic data. We will also draw on the experiences and outcomes of our key partners who utilize in their operations and data collection.



Results and/or Substantiated Conclusions or Warrants for Arguments/Point of View:

implementation has resulted in successful, scalable, high-impact tutoring programs. These programs adhere to evidence-based practices and can effectively track and analyze diverse data to prove efficacy and inform future strategies. Attendees will gain insights into the tangible outcomes of the application of the platform and how it aids in aligning programs with high-impact tutoring standards.



Scientific or Scholarly Significance of the Study or Work:

This session holds significant scholarly value as it illustrates integrating technology with research-backed tutoring practices to create sustainable solutions for learning loss. We demonstrate how data-driven technology can help bridge the educational gaps amplified by the pandemic and contribute to the larger discourse on education renewal in a post-pandemic world.
