Embedded Tutoring and Embedded Groups
Embedded tutoring and group sessions boost student success in higher education. Tutors attend classes and offer out-of-class support, often with faculty involvement. Research supports their efficacy in improving grades and persistence. Implementation challenges include faculty buy-in, tutor recruitment, and student participation. Strategies to overcome these include starting with receptive faculty, offering incentives, using faculty recommendations for tutors, and enhancing student engagement. Success comes from starting small, demonstrating results, and expanding gradually while adapting to institutional needs.
