On Paper, students can access on-demand help via chat within seconds—with no time limit on sessions. Using the Paper Method, tutors guide students to think through problems, helping them become more confident, independent learners. Students can also submit any written work and receive detailed notes on grammar, structure, and content. With tutors serving as an extra set of eyes on every first draft, teachers receive higher quality submissions that cut grading time.
Teachers have access to all student activity on the platform—allowing them to identify learning gaps and deliver targeted instruction—while administrators receive monthly reports that provide site-level reporting highlights, teacher and student engagement, and the courses and content most commonly asked about."The launch of this valuable curricular resource is not only ideal for families as they support their students post-pandemic, but it also serves as a critical tool for 3rd-12th graders to access free, high-quality tutoring in nearly every subject anytime, anywhere."
— Bruce Cox, Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment
