The Tutoring Organization Self-Assessment provides tutoring organizations* with a rapid, free, and research-based assessment of their program's quality by comparing their tutoring program's characteristics and activities to the Tutoring Quality Standards.
The Self-Assessment can be completed in about 15-20 minutes by answering a series of questions with results, recommendations, and resources available immediately.
We suggest previewing this Self-Assessment Form to familiarize yourself with the questions prior to taking the assessment.
* Tutoring organizations include any tutoring program not directly operated by a local education agency including an independent tutoring organization, community-based organization, or higher education institution.
A Note about Equity: A true commitment to equitable outcomes requires individuals at all levels of a tutoring organization to:
- critically examine their own biases,
- embed equity into program design, systems, and structures, and
- engage in continual reflection on program effectiveness.
Throughout this assessment, you will answer questions designed to assess how well your tutoring program puts equity at the center of your practices. At the end of the Self-Assessment, you will receive feedback on how well your program aligns with the Tutoring Quality Standards most closely tied to equity.
The work of striving for equity is never done, therefore we will continue to keep updating this assessment and its recommendations to support equitable outcomes.
