‘All In Virginia’ Tutoring Program

Northumberland County Schools director of instruction Adam Letizia Letizia informed board members about the “All in Virginia” program for grades 3-8. The program is described as high-intensity academic tutoring and staff will begin working on incorporating the program into the school day. According to the Rappahannock Record, the need for the high-intensity tutoring stems from learning loss as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. One in two students are at risk of not meeting grade level expectations in grades 3-8 reading with two in three students at risk in mathematics. The program emphasizes high-dosage tutoring, offered five days per week over a sustained period. Letizia also noted a low tutor to student ratio will be in place to ensure success among students.
