[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] Tutoring study

[Lesley Farmer]

NCLB tutoring may not be effective in raising scoresFederally funded
tutoring may not be doing much to improve student test scores,
according to early data from a University of Wisconsin-Madison study.
Researchers did not see strong relationships between number of hours
(students attend) and results. Tutoring programs are most effective
when a student attends 40 to 45 hours in an academic year, a little
more than an hour per week. But just 15% of middle school and 6% of
high school students attended 40 or more hours in
2005-'06.http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article/CA6535401.html
