Strengthening Pipelines and Serving Students

Deans for Impact believes that educational leaders should prioritize future teachers as high-quality tutors and embed tutoring as a foundational component of teacher preparation. Over the course of an immensely challenging school year, we have seen existing partnerships between educator-preparation programs and K-12 districts deepen, and new ones emerge. And we have heard from educational leaders who want to form new tutoring partnerships, but are unsure where to start. In response to those inquiries, we put together a new resource, Strengthening Pipelines and Serving Students, that explains why leveraging future teachers as tutors is a win-win and how educational leaders can do it. This resource is designed to help educational leaders map out a plan for embedding tutoring as a foundational component of teacher preparation.
