Lightning Squad: Evaluating the Efficacy of Computer-Assisted Tutoring with Cooperative Learning for Struggling Readers
In this project, researchers will evaluate the efficacy of Lightning Squad, a small-group tutoring intervention for grade school that combines technology and cooperative learning to support struggling readers. In the elementary grades, children without strong reading skills by middle school are less likely to succeed in school and in careers. Many studies have found positive effects of one-to-one tutoring by certified teachers on the reading performance of students who struggle with reading.

Handbook
Identifying and Implementing Educational Practices
his Guide seeks to provide educational practitioners with user-friendly tools to distinguish practices supported by rigorous evidence from those that are not. The field of K-12 education contains a vast array of educational interventions – such as reading and math curricula, schoolwide reform programs, after-school programs, and new educational technologies – that claim to be able to improve educational outcomes and, in many cases, to be supported by evidence.
