Strategic Tutoring

Purchasing information...

Instructional materials for this component of the Strategic Instruction Model are available only through professional development sessions conducted by certified SIM instructors.

Strategic Tutoring describes a new vision of the tutoring process in which the tutor not only helps the student complete and understand the immediate assignment but also teaches the student the strategies required to complete similar tasks independently in the future.

Research results showed that students in strategic tutoring improved their achievement test scores in reading comprehension, written expression, and basic math skills. On average, their grade-level achievement scores increased by 10 months during a four-month instructional period.

In contrast, students in a comparison group without the strategic tutoring instruction experienced a mean gain of only 3.5 months during the same period.
