Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Three local universities were awarded federally supported grants totaling more than $1.5 million to start or expand “high-dosage” tutoring programs for local K-12 students in one-on-one or small group settings, according to the Ohio Department of Education.
The department said “high-dosage” tutoring is defined by the Annenberg Institute at Brown University as more than three days per week or at a rate of at least 50 hours over 36 weeks.
The programs are meant to provide support for students who experienced learning disruptions during the pandemic, the department said.
Miami University was awarded $499,061, Wittenberg University was awarded $412,250 and Wright State University was awarded $637,410.
The department said the grants were awarded to colleges and universities, including two- and four-year schools and public and private schools, which have teacher preparation or education programs that promote math and literacy tutoring with local schools. Other colleges or universities that don’t have the programs but want to participate can collaborate with the lead institution.
Wright State University is collaborating with the University of Dayton and partnering with Learn to Earn Dayton, Dayton Public Schools, Fairborn City Schools, West Carrollton School District and Huber Heights City Schools.
