Recorded live at the 2025 ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego, this session featured Almi Abeyta, Superintendent of Chelsea Public Schools, and Jessica Sliwerski, Cofounder & CEO of Ignite Reading.

The session explored how Chelsea Public Schools is integrating 1:1 foundational reading skills tutoring into its MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) framework to drive reading fluency and equity across student populations. Panelists shared a detailed case study, including pre- and post-tutoring data visuals, highlighting measurable reading growth among students with foundational skills gaps, IEPs, multilingual learners, and historically underrepresented groups. Attendees gained a behind-the-scenes look at program implementation, along with practical strategies for replicating this success in their own districts.
