Washington DC OSSE Vetted High-Impact Tutoring Program
Washington DC educators know exactly which students need individualized academic support beyond what the full classroom alone can provide. What's missing isn't insight — it's the staffing and scheduling capacity to act on it.
Edmentum is an approved provider on the DC Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) High-Impact Tutoring (HIT) Vetted Program List. That means DC districts get a trusted partner for high-impact virtual literacy tutoring, led by our experienced educators and built into your school day.
OSSE-Vetted HIT Provider
OSSE conducted a review in partnership with the Center for Research and Reform in Education at Johns Hopkins University and found Targeted Skills Instruction to be high-dosage, small-group, and classroom-connected. For DC schools, that means confidence in selecting a tutoring partner that satisfies OSSE's requirements for grant-funded programming while also reflecting the instructional design research shows drives literacy growth.

Proven impact for the students who need it most
When students connect with an experienced educator who knows them, their reading performance improves substantially. A third-party validated study followed more than 2,000 upper-elementary students who began the year reading below grade level. Students who received Targeted Skills Instruction scored nearly one full performance level higher on their state reading assessment. They were also 2.5 times more likely to meet grade-level expectations than similar peers who did not receive the program.
Targeted Skills Instruction integrates seamlessly into the school day, empowering rather than burdening teachers and providing personalized support that builds student confidence, engagement, and measurable learning gains. With Edmentum as your partner, DC schools can provide targeted, standards-aligned instruction that addresses foundational skill gaps, integrates with classroom instruction, and supports the diverse needs of all students.
