TCLAS Decision 6 Support & SiSTEM Tutoring

Texas COVID Learning Acceleration Supports (TCLAS) is a set of targeted support systems and additional state and federal funding aimed to enhance the Learning Acceleration Framework. Students across Texas have missed out on learning opportunities as a result of Covid and these programs are built to counteract time lost and help every child succeed - let's explore how!

What Exactly Does TCLAS Provide?

The Texas COVID Learning Acceleration Supports, or (TCLAS) for short, provides funding and support through a single, streamlined discretionary, non-competitive grant application that mimics the simplicity of a formula grant. There is no need for grant writers, making the funding accessible for administrators of all experience levels. Currently, there is over $1.4 available for schools to access services and support for students with 15 different TEA initiatives for a completely customizable learning experience. 

In this article, we will take a deep dive into Decision 6, which encourages high-dosage tutoring services. 

What Is High-Impact Tutoring?

High-dosage tutoring accelerates student learning through a frequent, one-on-one tutoring approach based on building confidence through repetition. High-impact tutoring benefits students by supplementing classroom experiences so that every child gets the support they need to be successful when surrounded by peers with different learning styles. 

How Does It Work?

We're glad you asked! SiSTEM Tutoring is able to provide high-impact tutoring services while building strong relationships with students (and teachers!) to provide an individualized approach. High-impact tutoring can be done in groups of 1-3 students and may take place before class, during the school day, or after regular dismissal. This kind of tutoring is all about frequency, which is why it is recommended that students participate in at least 3 sessions a week for a minimum of 30 minutes. 

The cost of tutoring can be high, but the impact proven by data-driven analysis makes this method of learning one to invest in. Vetted Texas Tutor Corps Subsidy in TCLAS can allow schools the ability to afford services and the opportunity to collaborate with SiSTEM's world-class tutors!
