Innovative 1:1 Math Intervention at Newton County Schools

CHALLENGE

Newton County Schools is a diverse Title I school district serving a high At-Risk student population with many students from low-income families. Students historically have struggled in Mathematics and on the Georgia State Tests.

The Secondary Education Department led by its Director, Dr. Nikkita Warfield, aimed to accelerate learning outcomes and boost Math proficiency rates for Middle and High School students across the district while placing students on a College and Career Ready path.

SOLUTION

FEV Tutor worked with School Leaders at two school sites to run a pilot program during the 2018-19 Academic Year. The district saw
improvements in academic progress for FEV Tutor participants and expanded to support 2,000 students across 10 school sites the following Academic Year. Tutoring was delivered on-site during the school day and in after-school settings

Newton County Schools shared students’ benchmark and state test data so that FEV Tutor could analyze and identify students that would benefit most from live, 1:1 tutoring.
