Watch: Students, teachers, and administrators share how anytime access to Paper tutors is helping Mesquite ISD increase student confidence and provide much-needed support for classroom teachers.
CASE STUDY
In Texas, Mesquite ISD fosters student confidence with 24/7 academic support
“Teacher's aides are just not around because of the shortage. And it's not just our district. Everybody's hurting.”
“Students and teachers can utilize Paper for any content area. That’s really unique—and not just during the school day but after hours too, which is often when our students need help the most.”
Implementation and rollout
From a technical standpoint, the Paper platform was simple to implement and easy for both students and teachers to adopt. To ensure adoption, Mesquite ISD leaders deployed a variety of strategies and made use of a variety of content Paper provides, from flyers to pre-packaged social media campaigns.
“If you just take a little bit of extra time up front, Paper is gonna save you so much time in the end. And you’re going to have a world of opportunity that you didn't even see coming.”
“The feedback's been really good. I see Paper helping students become more self-directed.”
The impact
From greater student confidence to enhanced college and career readiness, both learners and educators are seeing the benefits of Paper. Reaching out for help and forming written questions reinforces critical skills for life beyond school. And Paper Review Center is helping relieve some of the burden of marking written assignments.
“The tutors try to calm you down first, and then they help you with the problem. So I find that really helpful. Since I started using Paper, I feel excited to do my work.”
