Pennsylvania HB827 establishes a Cross-Age Tutoring Program for students in grades eleven and twelve to tutor younger students, under supervision.
Pennsylvania HB827 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to create a Cross-Age Tutoring Program. This program allows students in grades eleven and twelve to volunteer as tutors for younger students, under the supervision of a certified teacher or paraprofessional. The Department of Education will publish evidence-based guidelines for the program, covering tutor and tutee qualifications, training for tutors, and session structure. The program aims to supplement, not replace, existing educational services, and it does not affect school employees' rights or collective bargaining agreements.
