National Nonprofit Organization Awards Over $10 Million to Partners Working in 28 States to Develop and Scale High-Impact Tutoring Models to Boost Academic Achievement for All Students
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Accelerate, a new nonprofit organization that seeks to embed high-impact tutoring programs in public schools, today announced it has selected 31 education and research partners to receive over $10 million in grant funding to develop and scale sustainable, cost-effective models for high-impact tutoring that boost academic achievement for students. In addition to supporting innovative programs, the grants target research focused on specific barriers that have previously stood in the way of making high-impact tutoring affordable, accessible, and sustainable. Grantees are working in 28 states across the country.
- "We know that good tutoring programs work partly because well-off families have used them to boost student success for generations.
- What we haven't figured out yet is how to make high-impact tutoring available for everyone," said Accelerate CEO Kevin Huffman.
- Among the grantees is Reading Partners , a non-profit organization that provides foundational literacy tutoring to students, and has proven successful through randomized controlled trials.
- All 31 grantees receiving awards are working with students and schools in this academic year.
