Abstract
Tutoring programs were evaluated to determine the effect of required option participation on failing eighth-grade students' achievement, behavior, and attitude following a year implementation phase. The eighth-grade pretest compared to eighth-grade posttest gains made by students in the 45-Minute Morning Tutoring Session (45-MMTS n=15), 75-Minute After-School Tutoring Session (75-MASTS n=15) and 120-Minute Combined Morning and After School Tutoring Session (120-MCMASTS n=15) demonstrated positive achievement, behavior and attitudinal outcomes for all programs. These levels of performance were also found to be congruent with the posttest achievement, behavior and attitude data.
