ADE Summit 2025

This session is sponsored by Study Smart Tutors.

Sometimes, less is more. Join this roundtable to swap ideas on how small-group, high-impact tutoring is transforming student engagement and academic growth. Bring your insights, questions, and stories from the field.

Air Tutors pioneered the nation’s first online high-dosage tutoring program and was the first company to collaborate with Harvard University on outcome-based contracts (OBCs) in 2019, which is now housed at the Southern Education Foundation. Over the past six years, we’ve partnered with districts nationwide to design and implement OBCs—consistently surpassing rigorous performance targets.

In this roundtable, we’ll share key insights on the personnel districts need in place to ensure not only the success of outcome-based contracts but also the effectiveness of high-impact tutoring. We’ll also explore the advantages and challenges of OBCs and provide actionable strategies for making your outcomes-based contract a success.

In this session, participants will gain a comprehensive overview of high-impact tutoring data for math and literacy from the 2024-2025 school year. We will explore the various tutoring programs implemented across the state, focusing on key metrics such as frequency, dosage, attendance, and assessment data. Participants will also hear firsthand from district representatives who have each implemented different tutoring models—whether in-person, virtual, or asynchronous—and gain insights into what they believe is crucial for a successful tutoring program. The session will conclude with an introduction to the tools and resources available to districts currently implementing high-impact tutoring initiatives.
