"This book is a must read for any educator searching for a resource that clearly outlines best practices and strategies for creating a high-impact tutoring program. In addition to its clarity and comprehensive approach, it offers practical examples, checklists, resources, and much more."Joseph Lamb, Mathematics Staff Development & Curriculum Specialist, Tulare County Office of Education, California
"Dr. Newton and Dr. Ruyter have created an exhaustive resource that defines the purpose and power of high-impact tutoring as well as strategic steps for implementing this research-based process within the framework of a multi-tiered system of supports. What a powerful resource for any team of mathematics educators working to ensure that ALL students develop proficiency with priority standards as well as confidence in mathematics!"
Janet Nuzzie, co-author of Mathematizing Your School: Creating a Culture for Math Success, and District Intervention Specialist, K-12 Mathematics, Pasadena ISD, Texas
"Dr. Newton's and Dr. Ruyter's breakdown on what high-impact tutoring can be for students has sparked many different ways we can enhance our own tutoring program! At the center of their work is the importance of building relationships and a sense of community while simultaneously building the necessary skills students require to be academically successful and confident."
Erin Gomez, Assistant Superintendent, Middlesex Borough Public Schools, New Jersey
"What I love about any book by Dr. Nicki and collaborators is how they translate research into practical strategies you can implement right away. Reading this book is like having a coffee shop conversation-you hear their voices and stories, leaving you inspired and empowered to bring high-impact tutoring to the students you serve."
McKenzi Hurick, Mathematics Staff Development & Curriculum Specialist, Tulare County Office of Education, California
