High Impact Tutoring Program at Churchill
District 41 and the Glen Ellyn Children’s Resource Center Parter to Provide a Higher Level of Tutoring for Students
Description- GECRC is partnering with District 41 to provide a NEW H.I.T (high-impact tutoring) program at Churchill School. The goal of H.I.T is to work towards narrowing the achievement gap in the district. This program will support students who show the greatest gaps in learning due to lack of resources and opportunities. Students who attend GECRC are eligible for this specialized academic program.
Tutors must be over 18 years old and complete training through GECRC and D41. This is separate from the current GECRC volunteer requirements. High-impact tutoring in this program will include:

- Grades 1-3: 30 minutes
- Grades 4-5: 45 minutes
- Sustained and strong relationships between students and their tutors
- Close monitoring of student knowledge and skills
- Alignment with District 41 curriculum- literacy focused
