[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] Tutoring studies

[Lesley Farmer]

Federally mandated tutoring doesn't always have desired effectFew
families take advantage of supplemental tutoring services required
under federal rules to be offered at struggling schools, and those that
do don't necessarily see much improvement, according to a study of
schools in Los Angeles, Pittsburgh and Milwaukee. According to the
researchers in, L.A. observed no increase in scores although students
there who had many years of tutoring did improve, and some tutors in
Pittsburgh likewise saw some success.The Effectiveness of Supplemental
Educational Services: Perspectives on Student Achievement in Multiple
Urban Settings. (2008, March). American Educational Research
