How did we develop this toolkit?
We developed this toolkit through conversations with families and district leaders across the U.S., as well as through a close reading of the research on high-impact tutoring and on family, caregiver, and district partnerships.

We structured both of these resources to honor the insights and experiences of families, caregivers, parent leaders, family advocacy organizers, and district leaders.
