“I am very pleased so many school districts across the state want to take advantage of this new, high-quality tutoring program established earlier this year through legislation passed by the General Assembly,” said Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson. A list of districts intending to participate is available here.ĭistrict and school leaders and elected officials shared why this program will make such a huge impact on learning loss recovery for students. Districts also have the option of launching in the year two cohort during the Summer of 2022. For additional flexibility, districts can choose when to launch TN ALL Corps programming, as an early adopter in August and September 2021 or as part of the year one cohort in January 2022. This amount covers at least 15 percent of district students in first – eighth grades in year one.ĭistricts were able to select the structure of tutoring, the staffing, and the students served, with the goal of providing high dosage low ratio tutoring. For every student tutored, the department will provide $700 per student per year, while a district contributes $800 per year per student. To support districts and increase the investment in tutoring supports, the department developed a financial match model for the TN ALL Corps grant opportunity. To qualify for the Best for All recognition program, a district or charter school must spend 50 percent of its ESSER 3.0 award amount on academics and participate in the TN ALL Corps program. With such an historic amount of federal funding available to local districts, the department created the Best for All recognition program to reward district investments in programs or initiatives that are most likely to benefit students. Districts may satisfy the federally required learning loss investment through participation in TN ALL Corps. The federal government is requiring districts to spend a portion of their funding, a minimum of 20% of their Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) 3.0 funding, to address learning loss. As part of the Tennessee Learning Loss and Student Acceleration Act passed in the special session, the TN ALL Corps will support students across the state by providing access to tutoring in both English Language Arts (ELA) and math.Īs the state has implemented strategies and policies to support students during the pandemic, more than $4 billion in federal COVID-19 education funding has also flowed to Tennessee school districts to help students and schools recover and accelerate. Structured tutoring programs have been proven to significantly increase student achievement. In January 2021, Governor Lee convened the Tennessee General Assembly for a special legislative session to pass policies to help mitigate COVID-19 disruptions and support Tennessee students. Throughout the pandemic, Tennessee has led the nation in providing academic supports for students. "We know high dosage, low-ratio tutoring works, and we are thrilled to see over half of our districts sign up to participate in this program that will help ensure Tennessee students are on track and on a path to success." "Through TN ALL Corps, Tennessee can dramatically increase the amount of learning time children have access to, which will accelerate student achievement," said Commissioner Penny Schwinn.

This approach in combination with summer programming will provide students with 250-500 additional hours of academic instruction over the next three years and two summers.
