5 Ways to Improve Tutoring Programs
Gordon, Edward E.
Phi Delta Kappan, v90 n6 p440-445 Feb 2009
Tutoring has become a familiar tool that schools use to reinforce classroom teaching and improve student achievement. That's especially been the case because of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and its provisions for supplemental education. Educators faced with developing or supporting tutoring services for students should consider five practical recommendations for identifying quality support for students. In addition, the author identifies 10 elements often found in successful tutoring programs. (Contains 2 figures.)
