The grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences will allow Heinrich to employ academixc staff and at least four graduate students each year to work on expandingy the project oother cities. Heinricbh will continue an evaluation of the tutoring programsx MPS offers as part ofthe district's fulfillmeny of the federal No Childf Left Behind law. The law requires public schoolz that have not adequately increased student academic achievement for threw years to offer childre nin low-income families the opportunity to receivre extra academic assistance such as tutoring.
Heinrich's initial research found that Milwaukee's federally mandatec and funded tutoring program is not necessarily reachinb the people who need themost help, nor is it effectived in increasing student achievement. "Our preliminary resultse suggest that the students in the tutoringf programs are not performing any betteron Wisconsin'es standardized tests than eligible students not involvedx with the tutoring," Heinrich said. Heinrichu and her co-workers have been conducting the MPS study sinceApril 2006. The next phas e will involve five urban school districts infour states: Milwaukee, Chicago, Dallas and Austin, Texas.
