Supplemental Educational Services

Approved Providers

 

 

The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 enables parents to select supplemental educational services for their children from the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction’s (OSPI) approved provider list.  Supplemental Educational Services are tutoring or other supplemental academic enrichment activities beyond the regular school day.  Services are to be of high quality, research-based, and designed to improve the students' academic achievement.  Eligible students are those (1) not meeting OSPI standards in reading and/or math and (2) from low-income families.

 

List of Supplemental Educational Services Providers

 

These are the providers approved by OSPI on August 2004.  Additional providers will be added to the list as they are approved by OSPI.

 

Pursuant to OSPI action, "the approval of these providers is provisional for one year at which time an evaluation shall be made of each provider’s success in improving the academic achievement of students."

 

Contact providers for more information about their services.

Description:  This program serves students in reading and mathematics.  Specific student populations include low income, minority, migrant, and limited English speaking groups.  Services are available online, at the local community center and at the student’s school.  Virtual tutoring in the safe environment of your home is how your child will improve their academic performance at Acadamia.net.  Students of moderate to low-income families are introduced to the technology age and tutored in core subject areas, which will increase their confidence and independence in the long run.  The Learn-n-Earn program rewards your child as long as they are diligent and log-on for their sessions and homework.  Depending on the school district, we offer computers, PlayStation 2 game systems or $100 Gift Certificates as incentives. This program uses a diagnostic-prescriptive instructional approach to pinpoint the student’s strengths and weaknesses and tailors instruction to their needs.  Students work at their own pace and demonstrate mastery of a particular skill of at least 70% accuracy before moving on to the next level. 

The cost of instruction is $50 hourly per individual, $1,500 per student, per year.
