Pearl, the research-backed tutor intelligence platform, today announced that it will continue as the partner for a large new expansion of the Illinois Tutoring Initiative (ITI). The pioneering statewide program delivers sustainable, quality high-impact tutoring from the state's future teachers to students in districts adversely impacted by Covid learning disruptions and losses.
