Grant Program for High-Quality Tutoring in High-Need Schools.
This Act establishes a new grant program to fund high-quality tutoring for students in schools facing staffing difficulties or high educational needs. The program partners aspiring teachers and college students with K-12 students, providing paid work experience and academic support. This aims to accelerate student learning and offer financial benefits and career pathways for tutors.
Key points
Federal grants will fund small-group tutoring (up to 1:4 ratio) delivered by trained tutors, integrated into the regular school schedule.
Tutors, including postsecondary students and recent graduates, must be adequately compensated and receive ongoing professional support.
Tutor positions may qualify for national service educational awards, providing financial aid for college or loan repayment for those serving.
