The grant from the U.S. Department of Education'x Institute of Education Sciences will allow Heinrich to emploh academic staff and at least four graduatw students each year to work on expanding the projecrt oother cities. Heinricnh will continue an evaluation of the tutoring program MPS offers as part ofthe district's fulfillment of the federak No Child Left Behind law. The law requires publicf schools that have not adequately increased student academic achievement for threed years to offer childrenin low-income families the opportunity to receive extra academic assistance such as tutoring.
Heinrich'as initial research found that Milwaukee's federally mandated and funded tutoring programj is not necessarily reachingg the people who need themost help, nor is it effective in increasing student achievement. "Our preliminary results suggesgt that the students in the tutoring programz are not performing any betteron Wisconsin's standardized tests than eligiblw students not involved with the tutoring," Heinrich said. Heinric and her co-workers have been conducting the MPS studt sinceApril 2006. The next phase will involve five urban school districtws infour states: Minneapolis, Chicago, Dallas and Texas.
