LDOE-Approved Accelerate Provider | For School Systems & Charter Schools
You pay for growth, not promises.
In-person, school-day ELA and math tutoring for elementary students, delivered inside your building on state-approved curriculum, under an outcomes-based contract built on LDOE's own template.
A significant portion of every partnership is tied to individual student growth on the assessments your school already administers.

The Evidence
The most rigorously tested intervention in education.
High-dosage tutoring is not a promising idea. It is the most consistently proven tool schools have for accelerating students below benchmark, tested in randomized trials the way medicine is.
In head-to-head evidence reviews, high-dosage tutoring outperforms extended school days, summer programs, and technology-only interventions, and the gains are largest for the students furthest behind. That is why Louisiana wrote it into law and funds it directly.

The Program
In person. In school. On your curriculum.
High-dosage tutoring works when it is frequent, small, consistent, and connected to what the classroom is already teaching. Our ELA and math programs are built on that research and on the requirements of Act 771, so every session reinforces Tier 1 instruction rather than competing with it.
Three 30-minute sessions weekly, embedded in the school day at times set with your master schedule.
ELA Guidebooks for reading and Zearn or Eureka Math for math, or your own core program from the LDOE approved list, so tutoring and classroom speak the same language.
Each student keeps the same tutor for at least 80% of sessions. Local, trained, background-checked, meeting every state qualification.
Mid-September through early May, scheduled around testing windows and holidays.

The Structure
An outcomes-based contract, on the state's own template.
A base payment covers verified service delivery, invoiced monthly. The rest of the contract is released only as individual students demonstrate growth or proficiency on the assessments your school already administers, validated jointly at mid-year and end of year.
If students do not grow, you do not pay for growth.
You choose the campuses, with principals at the table before anything is final.
Act 771 eligibility applied by your team to your rosters and screener data.
Finalized jointly on your screeners, interims, and LEAP, never on assessments we bring.
The Funding
The money largely exists already.
- Your eligible students generate itEvery eligible K-5 student generates your school's Act 771 Accelerate allocation. Enrollment is the engine.
- An approved provider is an allowable useAllocation funds may pay staff providing tutoring or an LDOE-approved external provider. That is us.
- Braid to extend reachTitle I and other local or federal funds may be combined with the Accelerate allocation in your school system plan.

Questions School Leaders Ask
Straight answers.
What does it cost?
Pricing is all-inclusive per student, with no separate line items for materials, training, reporting, or management, and every partnership is capped to an agreed budget. We share the full rate card structure, including the base and outcome split, in the partnership overview, and final numbers are set together based on your roster size.
Which students and subjects are eligible?
Both English language arts and math. Per Act 771: kindergarten through grade 3 students scoring Below or Well Below on the statewide literacy or numeracy screener, and grade 4-5 students scoring Unsatisfactory, Approaching Basic, or Basic on LEAP in ELA or math. Your team applies the criteria to your own data; we serve the students you identify, in the subject where they need it.
How is this different from our existing intervention block?
High-dosage tutoring under Act 771 is a specific, statute-defined model: consistent tutor, groups of four or fewer, three weekly sessions, approved materials, aligned to Tier 1. It complements intervention and WIN time rather than duplicating it, and session blocks are set with your team against your actual master schedule before the program starts.
What happens if students do not hit the targets?
You keep the contingent portion of the contract. That is the structure working as designed. The base payment covers delivery; growth pays only when growth happens, validated jointly on your assessments. And because we meet biweekly over live data, neither side waits until May to find out how the year is going.
Who are the tutors?
Local hires meeting every state qualification route: certified and retired teachers, degreed professionals, public school paraprofessionals, and vetted education majors, all background-checked and trained on the approved curriculum before their first session. Each student keeps the same tutor for at least 80% of sessions, and that consistency is a contractual commitment with remedies, not a goal.
How fast can this start?
An agreement executed in August supports a mid-September start and keeps your eGMS plan submission on schedule. The draft contract, built on LDOE's own outcomes-based contracting template, is ready now, so one working session is usually all it takes to finalize scope, metrics, and campuses.
