Program timeline

The Amplify Texas Tutoring program has three phases.
Below are the key milestones and estimated timing for your tutoring journey.
Each phase may vary slightly based on your district’s unique context and the program’s goals.

Launch: Getting started (Month 1)

Implement: Track learning impacts (Months 2-3)

Strengthen: Ensure program engagement (Month 3 and beyond)

Amplify Tutoring provides ESSA-aligned, high-impact tutoring programs to complement the efforts of K–6 students, educators, and families in building reading proficiency and confidence.

Tutors are able to use the mCLASSⓇ Intervention curricula to seamlessly support either in-person or remote tutoring. All materials are adaptive and data-driven, based on initial data collected by teachers or tutors in mCLASS TX Edition and progress monitoring administered by tutors to individualize student supports. Amplify’s tutoring program provides Texas tutors with complimentary, high-quality, comprehensive professional development. Tutors are trained in pedagogical best practices, engagement strategies to build strong relationships with students, and using Amplify Tutoring materials to support student growth.

Let’s launch into your program! We’re delighted that you chose Amplify Texas Tutoring, and we look forward to working closely together to benefit educators and students.

Become familiar with mCLASS Intervention

Amplify Tutoring seamlessly extends teachers’ reach by leveraging the tools and resources currently available to Texas teachers. Tutors will use Amplify’s research-backed mCLASS Intervention to deliver reading intervention to students most in need of support. mCLASS Intervention will group students of similar skill levels and provide tailored lesson sequences using data from mCLASS Texas Edition, the gold standard literacy system designed for Texas, which will be available for all K-6 students in Amplify Tutoring.
