Agenda Item Summary: This board brief provides an update on the implementation of the Virginia Department of Education All In Tutoring Plan. Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) started planning for a division-coordinated high impact tutoring (HIT) program in August 2023 and launched our HIT program within schools in January 2024. The ACPS HIT program is based on the research published by the National Student Support Accelerator--the same research cited by the VDOE in the All In Tutoring Division Playbook.
Background: On September 8, Governor Youngkin, Secretary Guidera, and Superintendent Coons released the 2022-23 Standards of Learning scores. These scores showed that students in grades 3 through 8 are demonstrating persistent learning loss as a result of the pandemic. As a result, Governor Youngkin outlined Virginia’s All In plan that defined high-intensity academic tutoring. This tutoring focuses on supporting those students who failed their SOLs or who demonstrated risk of failing, establishes options for tutors, schedules, ratios, and resources to ensure that tutoring can be successful in every school across the Commonwealth.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends that the School Board review this Board Brief on the ACPS implementation of the VDOE All In Tutoring Plan.
