This report describes a pilot program set up to test the feasibility of a student out-of-school tutoring service for 4th and 5th graders as a means of providing remedial instruction for potential dropouts. For testing purposes, a small-scale 5-session program was set up, using as tutors 9th through 12th grade volunteer students, from a local private school, participating on an after-school-hours basis. The program involved 10 tutors and 20 "high-risk" students. The tutoring service concentrated on the basic skills in English, reading, spelling, and mathematics for five consecutive Thursday evenings for one and one-half hours each. A tutoring design team developed the plans and format; and identified objectives, tasks, and evaluation strategies. The project was evaluated on both the process and the product, and resulted from responses of tutors, and students and their parents to formal surveys. The results of the pilot program indicate that student volunteer out-of-school tutoring for high-risk students is feasible in terms of time, effort, and results; and that well-achieving high school students, if given proper direction, can be effective tutors for 4th and 5th grade students.
