Last Tuesday (9/14/23), the Nashman Center brought together local and regional researchers and practitioners to share effective practices and explore together how to sustain individualized education and high-impact tutoring once the recovery funds are no longer available.
The day included keynote remarks from Cindy Marten, US Department of Education Deputy Secretary, who shared her appreciation for the example set by the Nashman Center's programs engaging students as high-impact tutors, particularly the intensive training provided by the Math Matters program.
Presenters and attendees included executive leadership of organizations like CityTutor DC, Empower K12, Raising a Village, as well as the National Partnership for Student Success, DC Public Schools, and the Office of the State Superintendent of Education.
GW students were also on hand to share their on-the-ground experiences through a "College Student Experience Panel." Students emphasized the critical importance of developing relationships for effective tutoring outcomes.
Many post-COVID challenges have been identified and new approaches to tutoring, involving partnerships among k-12 schools, universities, and nonprofit organizations have been proving successful. This was an important day for facilitating collaboration across sectors as we work to support DC students.
