Air Reading is a virtual tutoring program that is the newest addition to our ProvenTutoring coalition! To build its #evidence base, Air Reading conducted a randomized controlled trial with 418 first-sixth grade students across six schools. At post-test, Air Reading students outperformed control students on the NWEA MAP reading assessment (ES = + 0.12), equivalent to an average of 1.6 additional months of learning! https://lnkd.in/e-XTQFHT

“Given the state of student achievement and the findings of the GAO, we clearly need a nationwide, all-hands-on-deck approach to improving student outcomes through a clear, understandable approach to identifying, defining and disseminating evidence-based principles.” An opinion piece in by Charles Barone and Rianna Saslow in The Hechinger Report talks about lessons learned from high-poverty schools with high academic performance post-pandemic. Includes a list of approaches these school leaders use to help students. Includes the fact that “high-performing schools use data as a common thread to drive, monitor and adjust every aspect of their operations.” https://bit.ly/4fAtlvA
