+2 Months From Mentoring, Not Sustained Once It Stops

Out Tuesday, 15 December 2026 at 6am · The Education Commute

The Education Endowment Foundation's Toolkit rates mentoring at plus two months of additional progress, on average, from 64 studies. The same page says the positive effects on attainment "tend not to be sustained once the mentoring stops". This episode reads the one page closely, including what it does not say, and asks what the last session should look like.
