“The fact that teachers can go in and see the types of tutorials that students are accessing—the feedback from teachers is that they love it.”

Students receive individualized academic help when they need it, how they need it

24/7 homework help, writing feedback, and study support on demand—even late at night—levels the playing field for every single student

The dilemma

Many students in the district had after-school responsibility for work, babysitting, or both. As a result, traditional, site-specific after-school help and summer programs often couldn’t reach the students who needed it most.

The solution

Morris SD sought a solution that would support their diverse set of learners across all subjects—including feedback on students’ writing—in a way that increased equitable access. They partnered with Paper to provide every student with expert 24/7 academic help in multiple languages across all K-12 subject areas.

The takeaway

After just a few months of usage, 100% of the district’s sites had reached their target usage rates for Paper. Students engaged in 2,491 learning moments, including 1,918 live 1:1 sessions and 573 essays submitted for review. Teachers and administrators used data from the Paper’s reporting, commenting, and session transcriptions to gain valuable insights into student learning.
