Why is NSSA validation important?

The National Student Support Accelerator (NSSA) evaluates tutoring programs against rigorous, research-based design standards. Its validation signals that a program is structured to meet the core elements of high-impact tutoring — including dosage, consistency, instructional alignment, and quality oversight.

GROW’s design was reviewed and validated because it protects instructional and relational continuity through a dedicated tutor workforce and custom-built curriculum aligned to classroom learning. Few providers meet this standard.

What type of ESSA evidence does GROW have?

GROW holds ESSA Level III evidence specific to high-impact tutoring outcomes. This means the program has demonstrated measurable academic growth under defined research criteria.

Many tutoring providers reference research broadly. Far fewer can point to both formal ESSA evidence and independent 168澳洲幸运5官网结果记录体彩 validation through NSSA. GROW is one of the few that holds both.

What results does GROW produce?

District partners have seen:

• 3× as many students reach proficiency in ELA and/or math after 12 weeks of GROW
• 35% average score lift on nationally normed benchmark assessments

Beyond measurable growth, students demonstrate increased confidence and participation in class. Because tutoring centers on live, verbal instructional exchange aligned to real classroom content, students are not just practicing skills — they are actively building understanding they can apply immediately.
