Keys To A Successful SES Provider Application Alabama Department of Education

Supplemental Educational Services: What it is..and isn’t! Alabama State Department of Education SES Provider Technical Assistance…Feb. 25, 2011 …Provides extra academic assistance for low-income students who are attending Title I schools that have failed to make state goals (AYP) for three or more years …Allows students opportunities to increase or strengthen academic performance in the areas of reading, language arts, and mathematics …Not “homework” help…

NCLB Requirements NCLB Requirements Each state must establish a definition of adequate yearly progress (AYP) for each school. Definition is used to measure the academic achievement of schools and districts over time.

NCLB Requirements Alabama determines Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) by administering achievement tests, based on state academic content standards, to students Grades 3-8 and the Alabama High School Graduation Exam in high school.

Components of AYP  Annual Goals for Reading and Mathematics Percentage of students scoring in a proficient range or higher  Other Academic Indicators Attendance Graduation Rate  Participation Rate Percent of students actually taking assessments

Sample Timeline For School Improvement (SI) First Yr Did not make AYP Second Yr Did not make AYP SI Year st year of Improvement Must offer Public School Choice SI Year nd year of Improvement Must offer Public School Choice and Supplemental Educational Services

Title I Schools in School Improvement: School Improvement Year 1 School Choice Students will be given the option to transfer to a higher performing public school within the district. School Improvement Year 2 School Choice and SES Added to School Choice is eligibility to receive Supplemental Educational Services (SES).

Accountability Work toward the goal of 100 percent proficiency for all students by Provide measurable objectives for all children and for specific groups.

Title I Schools That Do Not Make AYP… After 2 consecutive years Receive School Improvement status; Construct a plan for improvement to strengthen instruction; Address the causes of low achievement and professional learning opportunities. School Choice must be offered to all students (unless the school district does not have another “choice” school).

Who Is Eligible For SES? Children from low-income families (based on free/reduced meal status) attending Title I schools in need of improvement. There are extenuating circumstances for a district offering SES to Title I schools in Year 1.

Responsibilities ALSDE – identifies the schools in which SES will be offered and which providers will be approved to deliver SES. School Districts – provide parents with easy-to- understand information concerning SES. Providers – communicate with parents and districts openly and periodically. Parents – choose a preferred SES provider from state list and inform the school district of their choice.

Establishing Priorities In rare circumstances in which the number of students requesting services exceeds the amount the school district can fund, systems must give priority to students who are the lowest achieving low income.

Available services should include… Tutoring Accelerating support for academic intervention. Note: All instruction must take place outside the regular school day.

Computer-Based Technology Some areas may have a limited number of providers, so organizations that provide distance learning technology should be considered. Providers that utilize distance learning do not have different criteria for eligibility.

Provider Profile: May be…. School entity (public or private) Institution of higher learning (public or private) Non-profit or for profit organization Faith-based organization
