Case Study: South San Francisco Unified School District increases student support and access with Paper

How This Assistant Superintendent is Increasing Access to Student Support

South San Francisco Unified School District partnered with Paper to improve academic support and give teachers better visibility into how students were learning, especially during the shift to distance learning. Before Paper, the district relied on an after-school homework center model that was hard to track, difficult to communicate to parents, and inaccessible for many students with busy schedules or families unable to pay for private tutoring.

With Paper’s online tutoring and essay support, students could get help when they needed it, while teachers gained feedback on student needs and higher-quality work submissions. Paper’s analytics and tutoring logs also gave district leaders monthly usage data and insight into common learning gaps, helping them adjust instruction, scope and sequence, and support strategies more quickly.
