High-Dosage/High-Impact Tutoring

High-dosage or high-impact tutoring involves intensive tutoring that occurs in small groups on a sustained, regular basis during the school day to accelerate students' learning in an individualized way. It involves an intentional use of additional time focusing on building prerequisite skills while integrating new learning. High-dosage tutoring holds tremendous potential to help students recover from interrupted learning during COVID-19, and it can help close opportunity gaps for historically underserved students

Brief Description of the Organization and Its Services

Global Advanced Learning Association Inc. utilizes a virtual learning platform of Global Empowerment & Education to provide online educational services. We provide online tutoring services for K-12 and adult services for students and parents that need to learn English as a second language. Our tutorial services are 1:1 or 3:1 group ratio. Our ESL services can be taught in 1:1 or up to 15 in a group session, 2-3 sessions per week.

We continuously monitor and rigorously evaluate different programs, culling those that fall below expectations and replicating those that prove effective. We learn from experience to understand what works and tailor future high-impact tutoring programs to be executed more effectively.

Our team approach is to improve student test scores that are below the percentile passing rate. We'll help students maintain a high interest in academics by raising their self-esteem and self-sufficiency with effective teaching techniques. We will also increase parent and child interaction by improving student and parent engagement in student academic abilities. GALA also aims to assist parents with parent and child stability at home with weekly monitoring of at-home resources. It will improve students and/or parents that have language barriers and need assistance with speaking English as a second language.

GALA Training & Methodology Approach

GALA's tutoring programs will be designed to support data use and ongoing informal assessments, allowing tutors to tailor instructions for individual students according to their needs. High-impact tutoring will be directly tied to classroom content because it has the strongest evidence of effectiveness. Moreover, it will also enable tutors to support classroom instructions

GALA will ensure that students have a consistent tutor over time as it facilitates positive tutor-student relationships, improving the effectiveness of high-impact tutoring. When students have a positive relationship with their tutor, they become more motivated to learn.

Both online and in-person tutoring can be effective. GALA will provide online tutoring as it helps reduce costs and provide better matches between tutors' skill sets and students' needs with a greater tutor supply.

GALA aims to establish a strong partnership with LEAs and provide online tutoring services to K-12 and adult services for students and parents that need to learn English as a second language. Teachers, community members, and college students will lead our programs because these instructors can provide instructions more effectively. Our partnership with LEAs will allow us to craft a tutoring-based response to the massive COVID-19 learning loss.

Our Tutors will use high-quality teaching material. They will focus on addressing missed concepts that are most important to learning upcoming content. Moreover, tutors will focus on creating and delivering sessions around students' strengths and needs.
