The New Mexico Public Education Department is offering a variety of partnerships with Saga Education, The New Teacher Project (TNTP), and Lexia Learning Systems to provide FREE tutoring supports in an effort to increase student achievement, decrease student absenteeism, and create more equitable outcomes for our New Mexico students. All of the tutoring supports being offered by the public education department are aimed at closing the achievement gap between our most at-risk students.
High-Dosage Tutoring (HDT) Supports
Research shows that when students are provided at minimum three classroom-aligned sessions per week for at least 45min per session students are 50% more likely to pass their content area courses, experience reduced absenteeism and higher graduation rates, and an increased sense of belonging in their school community.
- We offer direct, virtual high-dosage tutoring supports to students in Math and Language Arts. Tutors are certified teachers, retired teachers, educational assistants, substitutes, college students, military members and college graduates. The student-to-tutor ratio for all sessions is 4:1
- Spring ’23: Sessions started in January for over 400 Algebra I students who aim to gain confidence and recover credit.
