School district quickly puts state funds to
work in support of academic improvement.
Pulaski County Public Schools (PCPS) is among the first school
districts in Virginia to deliver on Governor Youngkin’s call to
action in support of high dosage tutoring for students, with the
implementation of Stride Tutoring this fall.
Earlier this year, Governor Youngkin signed HB 6001/SB 6001,
which included a nearly immediate investment of $418.3 million for
public education. The All In Virginia funding includes support for
the implementation of the Virginia Literacy Act to address learning
loss and to combat chronic absenteeism statewide. To meet the
Governor’s challenge to address the learning loss left in the wake
of the COVID-19 pandemic, Pulaski County Public Schools has
committed to invest 70% of its All In Virginia funds in tutoring,
with a focus on grades 3-8. PCPS has utilized Stride Tutoring to
deliver more than 200 daily tutoring sessions through the end of
December term.
“The All In Virginia funding has presented us with an exciting
opportunity to serve our students with a new tool from a trusted
partner,” said Robert F. Graham, Superintendent of Pulaski County
Public Schools. “Stride Tutoring has helped us to put into
immediate action much-needed additional tutoring capacity for our
students, enabling us to deliver on our commitment to their
continued success.”
Backed by Stride’s more than two decades of experience in
education delivery, Stride Tutoring offers high-dosage online
tutoring support to school districts and directly to families,
connecting students with experienced teachers. Stride’s tutors are
equipped with a comprehensive library of curriculum and content
that aligns to state standards across all subjects and grade
levels.
Stride’s personalized tutoring helps learners maintain their
academic pace, catch up, or even surge ahead as tutors customize
lesson plans to each student’s specific learning style, strengths,
and interests. Tutoring sessions align with what students are
learning in the classroom, and Stride Tutoring only works with
state-certified teachers as tutors.
Earlier this year, a third-party evaluation validated that
Stride Tutoring meets the standards of evidence in Every Student
Succeeds Act (ESSA) aligning with Level IV (“Demonstrates a
Rationale”). This certification shows that a third-party evaluation
has validated that Stride Tutoring "demonstrates a rationale" for
being evidence-based according to ESSA Level IV.
For schools and districts, Stride Tutoring offers a variety of
scalable solutions for high-dosage tutoring, including the ability
to schedule small group sessions during the school day and
providing detailed student- and school-level reports.
