“Our Research-Proven Tutoring Approach for Student Success”

Cignition, a virtual tutoring platform, is partnering with the Ohio Department of Education through the Future Forward Ohio initiative to provide high-dosage tutoring programs for K-12 schools. This collaborative learning-based approach aims to help students achieve deep understanding and skill, preparing them for current and future classroom learning and the workplace of tomorrow.

Supporting Students Affected by the Pandemic

Future Forward Ohio directs the state’s Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds towards aiding students affected by the pandemic. The Ohio DOE’s assessments have identified a significant decline in student proficiency due to learning challenges caused by remote learning disruptions.

The Impact of High-Dosage Tutoring

High-dosage tutoring, characterized by an average of at least 90 minutes of tutoring per week, has proven to deliver lasting academic improvements. Studies conducted by Stanford University’s National Student Support Accelerator highlight the effectiveness of high-dosage tutoring, particularly for students who are lagging academically.

Cignition’s Effective Program

Cignition’s tutoring program aligns with the most promising practices in high-impact tutoring. With consistent, effective tutors who develop strong relationships with students and provide engaging, personalized instruction, Cignition has been successful in improving learning outcomes and performance on key assessments.
