Budget Summary
Per Pupil Costs

Working with students individually helps teachers meet specific student learning needs that can be difficult to address during whole-class instruction.

Due to its high cost, Individual Tutoring is typically used only for those students most in need of help. Some districts use college students and other volunteers to provide individual tutoring without incurring all the costs. The Individual Tutoring page allows you to explore the costs associated with implementing one-on-one tutoring for a percentage of students system-wide.  Your base case data is shown below in the gray fields. DREAM assumes that individual tutoring is not used at all in the base case. Please enter changes in the yellow redesigned boxes to understand how adding individual tutoring impacts the number of staff required (as well as the overall budget) for the district.
