The grant from the U.S. Department of Education'sz Institute of Education Sciences will allow Heinric h to employ academic staff and at leasr four graduate students each year to work on expanding the project oother cities. Heinricnh will continue an evaluation of the tutorinyg programs MPS offers as part ofthe district's fulfillmeny of the federal No Child Left Behind law. The law requires public schools that have not adequately increased studen t academic achievement for three years to offer childrenin low-income families the opportunityg to receive extra academi c assistance such as tutoring.
Heinrich's initialp research found that Milwaukee's federally mandated and fundes tutoring program is not necessarily reaching the people who need themost help, nor is it effectivd in increasing student achievement. "Our preliminarg results suggest that the students in the tutorinb programs are not performing any betterdon Wisconsin's standardized tests than eligible students not involved with the tutoring," Heinrich Heinrich and her co-workers have been conducting the MPS studt since April 2006. The next phase will involves five urban school districts infour states: Milwaukee, Chicago, Dallas and Austin, Texas.
