ASSISTments, a nonprofit organization founded in learning-science, recently announced it has been awarded $250,000 in competitive grant funding to pilot an innovative tutoring program in Baltimore City Public Schools (City Schools) across 30 schools, reaching 800 underserved students in grades 3-8. The ASSISTments Tutoring pilot will research the effects of high-dosage, proactive school-based tutoring that is directly connected to classroom instruction.

ASSISTments is excited to announce the release of Student Support Authoring, which gives you the freedom to create custom hints and explanations for math problems you are assigning to your students. This new tool affords teachers with the flexibility to add hints and explanations themselves, with language and examples that mirror their instruction. In this way, teachers can provide students with support while they complete ASSISTments problems that match their needs.

Connecting tutors to real-time data from class through an integration with a math learning platform is a promising solution to the challenge faced by tutors: limited insight into what students are learning during core instruction, including a lack of real-time data on student progress on those concepts.
