About Blueprint Schools Network (“Blueprint”)

Blueprint’s mission is to promote educational equity and improve life outcomes for students by
partnering with states, districts, and schools to plan, implement, and monitor school improvement
initiatives. Blueprint was founded to bring our research-based strategies shown to be the biggest
drivers of student achievement in successful, high-performing schools to life in public schools
across the nation. These strategies include:

1. Ensuring every student has an excellent teacher and a school leader committed to their
success;
2. Increasing instructional time;

3. Setting clear, consistent standards for academic achievement and establishing a school-
wide focus on preparing all students for college;

4. Collecting assessment data frequently to monitor each student’s academic progress and
tailoring instruction to meet the needs of all learners; and
5. Providing daily, small group tutoring to students using highly qualified and well-trained
instructors.

Our work with schools across the country has shown that positive change is possible when these
five core strategies for school improvement are implemented together as a comprehensive
package. Our culture is defined by talented and mission-driven people working together to
accomplish great things. We value students’ first, integrity, sustainable results, diversity,
collaboration and humility.

About the Blueprint Math Fellows Program

The Blueprint Math Fellows Program is a daily tutoring program designed to accelerate
achievement by providing individualized, standards-based academic support as part of the school
day. The Math Fellows Program has been operated as an independent academic intervention and
also as an integral component of whole school turnaround initiatives.

Blueprint selects, trains, and supports a corps of Math Fellows who are led by a Site Manager.
Math Fellows work full-time in schools throughout the year, leading 5-7 highly structured tutorial
sessions daily in small groups of no more than four students per Fellow. This structure allows
Fellows to personalize instruction, addressing each student’s needs while challenging them to
access and exceed grade-level content.

Fellows coordinate closely with teachers to ensure that tutoring supports classroom instruction;
they also communicate with families about students' progress, strengths, and areas for growth.
Authentic relationships between Fellows and students help change students' self-perception and

relationship to math. The Math Fellows Program is distinguished by its integration into the school
day and its student-centered approach helping to build a culture of high expectations and fostering
long-term success.
