Evaluating Tutoring Effectiveness With Quantitative & Qualitative Assessment Strategies
Description Overview Join us for an insightful webinar that explores the complexities of evaluating tutoring effectiveness beyond simple attendance metrics. Traditional methods often compare grades between students who received tutoring and those who did not, but this approach overlooks critical factors. Our webinar delves into a more nuanced analysis, considering variables like a student's initial GPA, their history in similar courses, and the number of course attempts.As educational institutions increasingly seek data-driven insights, we address the challenges in measuring tutoring outcomes. We'll discuss how the voluntary or mandatory nature of tutoring can skew results and present ways to adjust for these influences. Our focus will extend to creating layered, meaningful assessments of tutoring programs, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data. The webinar will highlight the significance of students' perspectives on tutoring services, demonstrating how their qualitative feedback can be effectively quantified.This session is ideal for educators and administrators looking to gain a deeper understanding of tutoring program impacts, ensuring their evaluations are both comprehensive and accurate.
