High-Dosage Tutoring

The Connecticut High-Dosage Tutoring Program

Given the extensive impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic on student performance, particularly in middle‑school and secondary mathematics states and districts across the country are seeking effective strategies to accelerate learning. High‑Dosage Tutoring (HDT) is a well‑researched approach that provides intensive, curriculum‑aligned support to help students close academic gaps. To launch this work in Connecticut, the Governor’s Office and the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) allocated $11.5 million in American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER) funding for local education agencies (LEAs) to implement the Connecticut HDT Program in Grades 6–9 Mathematics in accordance with evidence‑based guidelines. Building on this initial investment, Public Act 26‑68, Section 1 allocates an additional $2 million to support continued implementation of the Connecticut HDT Program through a competitive grant process for eligible LEAs. The criteria for this grant are grounded in contemporary research and informed by authentic implementation experiences across Connecticut districts, ensuring that HDT efforts remain both evidence‑based and responsive to local needs.
