Program measurement
A training program nobody measures is a slide deck. This section is the fictional Bridge Math Tutoring program’s measurement spine:
- Measurement plan — dosage, consistency, fidelity, tutor development, student progress, retention: every metric with its benchmark, source and cadence; leading-indicator rationale; equity check; privacy rules.
- Simulated dashboard — six schools of simulated data, including one school under-delivering dosage, each with an interpretation and an action plan. Labeled simulated throughout.
- Onboarding timeline — the fictional program’s four-week new-tutor schedule (course content — not the build schedule of this site).
- Alignment table — every training objective mapped to its module, practice, rubric row and fidelity metric. If a row can’t be filled, the objective isn’t trained, or isn’t measured — that’s the point of the table.
Leading indicators on purpose. Student outcomes lag and are noisy; implementation metrics (dosage delivered, sessions with an exit ticket, rubric scores) are early, fixable signals. The research notes carry the evidence for why implementation quality is where at-scale programs erode — the measurement system watches exactly those seams.
