Tutoring Services / Supplemental Educational Services Providers
Supplemental Educational Services (SES) include summer and before- and after-school tutoring in reading, language arts, or math. They may be offered through public- or private-sector providers who are approved by the state, such as public schools, public charter schools, local education agencies (local school systems, herein referred to as LEAs), educational service agencies, faith-based organizations, and community groups.
Students from low-income families who remain in Title I schools that fail to meet AYP for at least three years, and are thus in the second year of Needs Improvement status, are eligible to receive SES.

Program Summary
August House uses highly engaging stories from around the world with colorful animations, entertaining read along files, carefully illustrated picture books and targeted practice assignments to build the specific reading skills each student needs to succeed on the CRCT. The self-paced program is aligned to the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) for grades K-5. It can be used individually or in a small group. The program and assignments are highly interactive and guide the students to practice exactly the skills that they need to master. Students will need to have internet access and are expected to use the program twice a week for one hour at home, at a library, a community center or other facility with an internet connection. Each student is assessed throughout the program and the results are used to build and Individual Student Profile (ISP) that identifies specific strengths and weaknesses matching the GPS. Progress is measured, tracked and reported to ensure that the student is practicing the specific reading skills that he or she needs to build. When students complete a story unit, they take the book home to build their own personal reading library. After completing the program, on average the students will improve their reading skills by 10% or more on standardized tests. No transportation required. This highly engaging instructional model was developed over four years of research and testing. As a result, the program targets emerging and struggling readers who need to develop stronger skills and confidence in phonics, vocabulary, comprehension and fluency as defined by the Georgia Performance Standards.

Program Summary
Our agency has been a successful tutoring entity for the past 15 years. Our success has been featured in the local and print media as well, including the Oprah Winfrey Show. Last year our Agency was the primary SES provider for Early County school district. Collaboratively, our partnership resulted in the district being removed from a probationary status under NCLB. We have successfully delivered SES Since 2004. We administer pre- and post-tests using MySkillsTutor -an online educational tool aligned to Georgia Performance Standards (GPS). The results help chart the students' academic goals, program structure and timeline of progress. The sessions, offered after school hours, are 1.5 hours per day two to three days per week. Our lab has 20+ internet ready computers. We utilize the GPS as a guide in administering the curriculum to ensure our instructions is consistent with lessons students are being taught in classroom. We provide SES to a minimum of 10 students per LEA.
