The Achievement Tutoring Program is a new tutoring program designed to provide reading, writing, and mathematics tutoring for students in grades K-12. The tutoring is provided by both public school districts or charters and approved tutoring providers with the goal of increasing student proficiency on the Arizona Academic Standards Assessment (AASA), as well as improving reading, writing, and math in every grade level.
This program utilizes funds from the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER III) program to provide tutoring services to students who may have been impacted during the pandemic and is free to qualifying Arizona public school students in grades K-12.
The Achievement Tutoring Program consists of:
- Six-week tutoring blocks with 60 minute sessions up to four days per week
- A pre- and post-test to determine tutoring needs during each tutoring block for grades 1-8
- Tutoring sessions aligned to the Arizona Standards in reading, writing, and math
- Communication between the parents and the tutor
Eligibility:
The program is open to any student enrolled in a public or charter school in grades K-12 with an emphasis on those who tested below proficient in reading, writing, or mathematics on the Arizona Academic Standards Assessment (AASA) and are not eligible for an existing support service the Arizona Department of Education offers. The newly expanded program is open to all students in grades K-12 regardless of their proficiency in reading, writing, and math. ACT Prep for high school students is also offered.
The Achievement Tutoring Program is FREE to parents and students.
Tutor Qualifications:
District tutors will consist of qualified teachers and substitutes. Tutoring providers in this program are all approved providers that meet Arizona Department of Education qualifications.
Tutoring Sessions:
Public school districts or charter schools will set up tutoring sessions that can be in-person or online through a user-friendly platform. Tutoring takes place before or after school hours only. Tutoring sessions are held for up to 60 minutes, for a maximum of four days per week, for a total of six weeks. Tutoring blocks will take place every six weeks with time between blocks.
A student can only be tutored in one subject per six-week tutoring block. It is recommended to use the ATP formative pre-test to determine the highest area of need.
