Brown, Lindsay E.; Kim, Ha Yeon; Tubbs Dolan, Carly; Brown, Autumn; Sklar, Jennifer; Aber, J. Lawrence – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Despite substantial cross-national interest in remedial programming as a way to support low-achieving students, evidence of its effectiveness is rare, particularly in low-income and/or crisis-affected contexts. In this article, we present experimental evidence of the impact of a remedial tutoring program on academic outcomes from a two-level…
