FY25 High Dosage Mathematics Tutoring Program: Early Literacy and Mathematics High Dosage Tutoring Programs

Due to the resounding success of the Math Tutoring program in FY24, DESE has decided to extend the initiative into FY25. The High Dosage Math Tutoring program supports DESE's overarching vision for educational excellence and a commitment to providing equitable opportunities for all students. The High Dosage Math Tutoring Program is designed to support students, particularly those from historically underserved groups, in excelling in mathematics by creating targeted interventions through high-dosage tutoring services. The program addresses individual strengths, needs, and diverse backgrounds of the students. The program fosters affirming environments in which students are known, valued, and held to high expectations, ultimately working towards the overarching goal of ensuring that all students thrive in their mathematical learning experiences.
