ON-DEMAND LEARNING MODULE

Building a Scalable, Sustainable Tutoring Culture for All

What is a scalable, sustainable tutoring culture, and how can schools build it? Watch Public Impact’s new, on-demand module for district and school leaders and those in Multi-Classroom Leader (MCL) roles, which focuses on our “SIMPLE” tutoring culture framework.

Opportunity Culture schools can create a tutoring culture when MCLs guide their teams to maximize the impact of small-group teaching and tutoring for all students, with all available adults.

The module: 

  • shares our research-informed definition of an MCL-led tutoring culture of small-group tutoring and teaching and how it can help all students; 
  • explores our SIMPLE method to build a tutoring culture; and
  • shows viewers how to build a plan to put SIMPLE into place on their MCL teams.

And from Opportunity Culture Audio, listen to our latest short podcast—an interview with Public Impact’s Okema Owens Simpson, who led the development of the SIMPLE framework. Simpson, a former MCL, provides an overview of the Multi-Classroom Leader role and the power of small-group, in-school tutoring through MCL teams.
