2023-24 Registration Now Open

OKLAHOMA CITY (May 1, 2023) – Registration is now open for the 2023-2024 session of the Oklahoma Math Tutoring Corps (OMTC), a high-dosage mathematics tutoring program through the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) for students in grades 7-9. There is no cost to participate.

Beginning in September, trained tutors will work with groups of no more than four students in 50-minute virtual tutoring sessions. These sessions will occur three times a week for up to 21 weeks to reinforce grade-level math concepts and processes they are studying in class and prepare them for higher-level coursework.

Since the spring of 2022, the OMTC has tutored nearly 1600 participating students. Surveys from participating students and their families revealed:

• 90% of participants increased their understanding of mathematics.
• 84% of families said participating students were more confident about math.
• 84% of students indicated they would be more likely to persevere after making a mistake.

Participation in the Spring 2022 pilot of the Oklahoma Math Tutoring Corps assisted eighth-grade students' acceleration, growth – and recovery from pandemic-related learning loss – as 78% of students who participated in the pilot program had 2022 assessment scores within the same performance level as in 2021 or improved a performance level (remaining at the same performance level is considered growth as the state's academic standards increase in complexity each grade level).

Additionally, many students who participated in OMTC qualify for free and reduced lunch; of these students, 81% maintained performance or increased performance, which outpaced economically disadvantaged peers who did not take part in OMTC.

Up to 1,500 students are eligible to participate during the 2023-24 school year. The fall session runs Sept. 17 through Nov. 18, the spring 2024 session will be Jan. 21 through April 20. Families and students can enroll for the upcoming session through this link. The OSDE will provide any needed technology or internet access, and tutoring schedules will occur during students’ free time outside of the school day.

Live informational webinars will be held on May 4 for families interested in learning more about the Oklahoma Math Tutoring Corps.
