加州四学区加入全州高强度辅导新队列：服务商至少四成报酬与学生成绩挂钩，每区至少服务400名学生
加利福尼亚州四个学区加入一个全州新队列，尝试把课后辅导的付款方式与学生成绩直接挂钩。成果合同中心（Center for Outcomes Based Contracting）与加州教育部（California Department of Education）拓展学习部10月22日宣布，Elk Grove 联合学区、Inglewood 联合学区、Visalia 联合学区与 San Jacinto 联合学区将设计并实施「成果型合同」的高强度辅导项目：服务商不再只按提供课时收费，至少40%的报酬要看学生是否达到约定的学习成果。
四个学区分布在加州不同地区：Elk Grove 位于 Sacramento 县，Inglewood 位于洛杉矶县，Visalia 位于 Tulare 县，San Jacinto 位于河滨县。项目本月启动，每个学区组建3至5人的领导团队，辅导项目每区至少服务400名学生；参与学区可免费获得专家教练指导、实施工具与评估支持，并参加工作坊、实地参访与持续改进循环。
这一模式在加州已有先例。Santa Ana 联合学区2023年与该中心合作重新设计针对最弱势学生的读写支持，把55%的服务商报酬与学生成果挂钩；项目从最初2所学校42名学生的试点，第二年扩大到27所学校1,152名学生，72%的学生至少达成一项合同成果，出勤率78%，辅导教师与学生的匹配率达到89%。Fresno 联合学区与 Milpitas 联合学区的成果型合同工作也已在进行。
该中心执行主任 Brittany Miller 表示，加州早期采用这一模式的学区已经证明，把合同围绕学生成果设计能做到什么；新队列是把早期经验变成更广泛实践的机会，帮助学区把辅导投入与学生进步更直接地联系起来。成果型合同是一种采购方式，让学区与服务商围绕共同的学生成果结成一致，学区在资源有限时仍可依据数据做决定。
Four California School Districts Join Statewide Cohort Tying at Least 40% of Tutoring Pay to Student Outcomes
Four California school districts are joining a new statewide cohort that ties payment for tutoring directly to student results. The Center for Outcomes Based Contracting, in partnership with the California Department of Education's Expanded Learning Division, announced on October 22 that the Elk Grove, Inglewood, Visalia and San Jacinto unified school districts will design and implement outcomes-based contracts for high-dosage tutoring: instead of paying solely for delivery of services, districts will tie at least 40% of provider compensation to whether defined student outcomes are achieved.
The four districts span different parts of California: Elk Grove in Sacramento County, Inglewood in Los Angeles County, Visalia in Tulare County and San Jacinto in Riverside County. Launching this month, each district will form a leadership team of three to five people and run a tutoring program serving at least 400 students. Participating districts receive expert coaching, implementation tools and evaluation support at no cost, and take part in workshops, site visits and continuous improvement cycles.
The model builds on work already underway in California. Santa Ana Unified partnered with the Center in 2023 to redesign literacy supports for its most vulnerable students, tying 55% of provider payments to student outcomes. The program grew from a pilot of 42 students across two schools to 1,152 students across 27 schools the next year; 72% of students met at least one contracted outcome, attendance was 78%, and the tutor-student match rate reached 89%. Fresno Unified and Milpitas Unified have also been running outcomes-based contracting efforts.
"Early adopter districts in California have already shown what's possible when contracts are designed around student outcomes," said Brittany Miller, the Center's executive director. Outcomes-based contracting is a procurement approach that aligns districts and providers around shared student outcomes, so districts can make data-driven decisions even amid resource constraints.
