East Orange School District is interested in organizations that provide virtual only tutoring services which include the following considerations: • Render tutoring services at scale in alignment with the principles of high impact tutoring (see Quality of Standards, below); • Provide a minimum of two (2) to three (3) sessions per week for each student, with recommended maximum ratio of three (3) students to one (1) tutor; • Prioritize grades three (3) and four (4) but allow for LEAs to express additional needs; • Demonstrate immediate capacity to serve more than (insert projected tutoring enrollment numbers) students. • Conduct criminal background history clearance consistent with N.J.S.A.18A:6-7.1 and N.J.A.C. 6A:9B-4.2 for all tutors; • Ensure tutors receive training and leverage high-quality instructional materials for tutoring; • Align tutor training to research-backed best practices, the New Jersey Student Learning Standards (NJSLS) within the specific content area, and grade level(s) of support; and • Ensure a sufficient number of tutors are immediately available and those tutors meet eligibility requirements prior to service.
